A seated man on a gilded red and gold throne raises his right hand in blessing while holding a silver staff topped with a finial. He wears a red-orange dhoti, a gold-and-red crown, and a bare chest with a beaded necklace and rudraksha malas, with long dark hair swept back; the appearance matches a person, so this is an in_person candidate with an uncertain appearance. Around him, a seated audience in white and saffron clothing with rudraksha malas and vibhuti marks listens in a red-draped hall. A tall garland of orange, yellow and white flowers decorates the throne at right, and a red-and-orange banner hangs behind. Several devotees, mostly men in white dhotis, sit close to the dais; some women and a child sit among them.
