A man seated on an ornate brown leather throne with carved wooden armrests ending in cobra heads, wearing a headset microphone. He has long swept-back hair, a white and red forehead marking, and wears a rust-red and gold-orange shawl over a bare chest, with a long rudraksha-style mala of gold beads and braided cords. A blue wristband is visible. Behind him, blurred seated devotees in saffron and white, several wearing black eye cloths, sit in a hall with a red and white backdrop. The probable Swamiji candidate is the central figure on the throne, identified by long hair, a crown-like chair, saffron shawl and ceremonial gold-bead mala.
