A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate silver-and-gold throne with a red cushion, a microphone on a stand beside him. He raises one arm holding green leaves over his head, with a red and white flower garland draped above. Beside him stands a second man in orange, bare-shouldered, with white sacred markings on his arm and chest, a crown-like turban in orange, a silver necklace and rudraksha-style beads, holding a white cloth. Behind them are a brass oil lamp, red and orange flower garlands on the canopy, and a trident-shaped finial. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown or turban is not visible on him, and his saffron robes and ornate throne fit a Swamiji (probable) candidate; the throne and garlands indicate a ceremonial puja or abhishekam setting.
