A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a golden cobra hood carved behind the back and golden lion heads at the armrests, set against a dark background with green leaves overhead. The central figure wears a saffron-red robe, a heavy gold-beaded mala and a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a tall black hair wrap decorated with white crescent-shaped ornaments. A silver trident stands at the left. Leopard-print cushions cover the seat. The figure is smiling. Swamiji (probable): long black hair wrap, saffron-red robes, ceremonial gold necklaces and a crown-like hair ornament seated on a throne; an appearance-based candidate on a throne.
