A photograph of a seated bearded man in a rust-brown robe, wearing a long multi-strand garland of white and red flowers, a gold ornate necklace and rudraksha bracelets, with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion figures, a microphone stands before him, and a trident rests at left. Behind him a gilded arch frames a golden deity murti with raised arms. Potted green plants, brass lamps and a tea cup on a small side table surround the stage, against red drapes. The seated man is a person candidate, showing long swept-back hair, rudraksha and ceremonial gold necklace, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
