A seated man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap, with a rudraksha-style red and green flower garland and gold bangles on his arms. He sits on an ornate gold throne with white and red-yellow flower garlands draped over it, in front of a large orange backdrop. Behind him, a large printed portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red forehead mark, beside a Tamil-script banner and a glowing lamp graphic. Two silver-coloured deity murti statues stand in the foreground, and a bowl of red fruit sits on a red cushion. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, and ceremonial garlands on a throne match the candidate's cues, so he is identified as the seated central figure at a satsang setting.
