A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-shaped armrests, hands pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl with a beaded rudraksha-style mala at the neck and red-orange bangle threads at the wrist. Gold trident-topped staffs stand on either side of the throne, and a dense crowd of seated devotees fills the foreground, many with hands folded and some with white-and-red tilak marks. A large video screen in the background shows colourful imagery, and a small black DTK microphone rests on a stand beside the throne. The man is shown in appearance only as a probable Swamiji candidate; the appearance cues are the saffron-orange clothing, swept-back hair and rudraksha-style mala on a gold throne, but the identification is not certain.
