A photograph of a large projected stage backdrop showing an ornate golden throne flanked by red and gold temple gopuram architecture under a starry sky with a mountain. A bearded man with long hair sits on the throne, holding a trident (trishula) in his right hand, wearing a red-orange robe, a long garland of white flowers and a gold pendant, with a leopard-print cushion beside him. Bright white light beams fall across the scene. The man is visible on a screen, so the subject is a depiction; the appearance (long hair, orange robe, trident, garland, throne) is consistent with the Swamiji candidate. Most of the scene is a projected image, with no physical people in the foreground.
