A smiling man sits on an ornate silver throne with intricate floral and scrollwork carvings, flanked by leopard-print seat cushions and silver lion-head armrests. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with gold ornaments, an orange-saffron robe, layered white and pink flower garlands, a gold chain with a large pendant, and brown rudraksha bracelets on his arms. His hands are pressed together in a gesture of greeting. A silver staff stands beside the throne, and a microphone is at right. Behind him is a backdrop of painted temple gopuram towers. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated in ceremonial dress with turban, rudraksha and garlands, presiding in a satsang setting.
