A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne with golden lion sculptures and leopard-print cushions, dressed in a red-orange shawl and wearing a long gold necklace with a garland, orange armbands, and a tall crown-like gold headpiece. A bare-chested attendant in white dhoti with white forehead markings kneels at right holding a hand to his chest beside silver offering plates. A second person in a dark shirt sits in the lower foreground with a garland. Brass hanging oil lamps, bells and a kalasha-like vessel hang above, and a small oil lamp sits on the lower left. The scene appears to be a ceremonial darshan or puja. The man on the throne shows distinctive long hair, an orange shawl, ornate gold necklaces and a crown, consistent with the appearance-based Swamiji candidate noted on the page.
