A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra hood above it, beneath a gold trident on the left. He wears a white-and-pink flower garland, a gold pendant and a beaded mala, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. He sits on a red cushion draped with a striped tiger-print cloth, with a microphone stand beside him, a golden kalasha-style vessel and lamp stands in front, and a deep red curtain behind him over a colourful woven floor rug. Only one physical person is present. Appearance-based cues of long hair style, turban, saffron robes, mala and ceremonial gold ornaments suggest a probable Swamiji on a peetha throne, so the in-person candidate is marked probable.
