A seated man in an ornate silver throne with a tall arched back and a silver canopy overhead stands at the centre of a dark stage. Spotlights stream down from above in white beams. He wears a rust-red robe draped over the shoulders and a gold pendant necklace with a gold chain, with his hands folded in his lap and eyes closed. The throne has leopard-print cushions on either side. A silver staff stands to the left and a brass railing runs along the stage edge. The scene reads as a formal seated ceremony in a theatre-like hall. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-red robe, and ornate gold necklace match the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate, seated in a throne.
