A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits with palms pressed together in namaste before him, eyes closed. He wears a rudraksha mala with gold beads and a gold necklace. He sits on an ornate gold throne with carved backrest and golden lion-head armrests, with bottled water beside him and a yellow and magenta garland framing the throne against a green and yellow backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair falling below the turban, saffron robes, rudraksha and gold necklaces, and the golden throne match the presentation cues, so this is an in-person candidate.
