A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a carved silver-gold backrest and a crowned top, his eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears an orange turban with a red tilak, an orange robe, a gold ornamental pendant on a bead necklace, and a garland of white flowers with green and red accents. Behind him are red-orange and white floral garlands and a red tiger-striped cushion. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe and turban, long hair, gold ornaments and bead necklace match the candidate's presentation, so the person is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji, shown in a devotional seated pose on a throne.
