A seated man in red-orange saffron robes sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-shaped armrests and a richly carved, arched back, in a grand stage set with carved stone pillars and blue and green stage lights. He wears a long rudraksha mala, is bare-chested with a shawl over his lap, and has long dark hair and a beard. A trident stands beside the throne. Audience members in the foreground hold up phones to photograph the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a throne setting, so the candidate is shown on stage in person. Crowd members in the foreground are partially visible.
