A man in a rust-red ochre robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden lion arm and leopard-print cushions over a tiger-striped rug. He wears a pink and white pearl garland, a white vertical forehead mark with a red bindi, and a red thread on his wrist. He raises his right hand in a blessing wave and smiles while seated barefoot. A golden trident stands beside the throne. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, ochre robe, ceremonial pearl garland and ornate throne, seated in a ceremonial setting.
