A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti and draped orange wrap sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a large fan-shaped gold backrest and red cushions. He has long hair, a beard, a red tilak on his forehead and a brown rudraksha-style mala draped over his shoulders. His eyes are closed and one hand is open in a gesturing position toward a microphone stand. Behind him hangs a red curtain and a partly visible painted image, with a brass oil lamp at the left edge. The swamiji candidate appears with long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange clothing seated on a throne, consistent with a discourse setting.
