A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra-hood backrest, in front of deep red draped curtains and brass bells hanging above. He wears rust-orange ochre robes, a long rudraksha mala, and a tilak on his forehead, and raises both hands in an open gesture while smiling. A gold trident stands to his left, with brass lamp stands on either side and a small gold figure at the foot of the stage. A microphone stand is beside the throne, and the floor has a striped woven rug. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron-orange robes, and sits on the ornate throne, so he is labelled as a probable in-person candidate.
