A smiling man with eyes closed sits on an ornate white and red throne against a gold scrolled backdrop. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold and jewelled crown ornament, a red-brown saffron-style shawl over the shoulder, and a heavy gold bead mala with a large gold pendant. A small microphone stand is in front of him, and a silver serpent-headed staff rests at the left edge beside the throne arm. Swamiji (probable): the long swept hair, ornate gold crown and jewelled turban, and saffron-toned robes with heavy gold malas match the candidate's presentation, seated as a discourse speaker.
