A photograph of a ceremonial stage with red carpet and a large golden throne. A seated figure with long dark hair and a crown-like headpiece wears a maroon-red robe, a red-and-white mala of flowers, and a gold ceremonial necklace; this matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate by his crown, long hair and ornate gold necklace, seated in the peetha throne. A garland of white flowers hangs from a golden canopy frame beside him. Carved golden pillars with lion figures flank the stage, with brass oil lamps, trident-topped staffs, golden standing attendant statues, and a kalasha-like offering with flowers at the base. A small white air cooler sits at the left edge.
