A bearded man in a rust-red robe and matching red turban sits cross-legged with eyes closed on a raised throne in front of a large silver cobra hood with red eyes. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold chain, beaded bracelets and a vertical tilak on his forehead, with a red cushion beneath him. Flanking him are two painted statues of deities with multiple arms, holding a trident and other implements, in gold-trimmed ornament against a blue and orange temple backdrop. A silver trident stands to the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's red turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne match the appearance-based cues for the presenter, and the page describes a presidential address with Swamiji present, so the seated man is identified as an in-person candidate.
