Outdoor stage at a Dasara celebration. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange draped garment, a gold bead necklace and a gold bangle, stands barefoot on an orange-draped platform and points upward with one hand. Beside him is an ornate gold-leaf chair with a maroon cushion. Behind him a white-clad person holds a camera on a tripod, a pit with pink powder sits to the right, and palm trees, orange pennants and a coconut-leaf garland frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and orange clothing with gold beads suggest the Swamiji candidate, shown in person, speaking from the stage.
