A large orange banner behind him shows a smiling face and Kannada text. A man in white clothes bows deeply with his forehead touching the foot of the throne. Gold trishul-topped staffs and a flower-decorated peetha frame the scene, with a microphone on a stand beside the throne. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identified by long hair, saffron robe and ornate jewellery.
