A seated man in a leather-upholstered chair raises his right hand during a seminar in a cream-walled hall. He wears a rust-orange cloth, long gold necklaces, bangles and rudraksha-style beads, with long swept-back dark hair and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead. A tall golden trident stands to his left. Seated audience members in white and orange shawls fill the foreground, and a framed portrait of a woman in red hangs on the wall behind. A shaved-headed person in white sits at the back. The appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a person candidate present in person.
