A man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork, holding a silver trident in his raised right hand and smiling. He wears a white garland of pink and white flowers, a rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace and bangles, and has white markings on his forehead. Two gold lion-head statues flank the throne, and a red stage backdrop shows a glowing tree-like form and a night sky. Saffron cloths are folded at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has the long hair, saffron robes, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas of the candidate, seated in a regal ceremonial pose.
