A bearded man with long dark hair and a white-and-red tripundra forehead marking sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet cushion, a silver lion-shaped armrest beside him. He wears a rust-orange saffron cloth draped over bare shoulders, a long gold necklace and a red wrist thread, and holds a silver staff with a trident-topped finial. Seated figures in orange and white clothes with white forehead markings fill the background, and a silver ritual table with a brass vessel stands at right. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron cloth, gold necklace and a throne fit the presentation for the candidate.
