A man stands before a large gold-leaf arch with a pink backdrop, holding a silver trident with a red gem at its centre in his right hand. He wears a saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder, with rudraksha beads on his arms, waist and chest, and small bells strung on a dark rudraksha mala across his body. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and a white forehead marking with a yellow dot sits above his brow. Appearance cues include long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a trident, which together match the Swamiji candidate in this event context, so the figure is labelled a probable Swamiji presenting a trident in a ceremonial setting.

He wears a saffron-orange wrap, rudraksha malas across his chest, waist and upper arms, and a bell-studded belt.
