A seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne presides over a large hall of seated devotees. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange-brown silk garment, a long gold-and-beads necklace and rudraksha-style beads, with a bindi on his forehead. He holds a clasped staff near a silver trident standing on the left, and a microphone sits on a draped table in front. Behind him a screen shows a close-up of another man in a red turban. Many audience members in saffron, orange and white clothing fill the room, and a few attendants stand at the edges. The appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), seated in a throne with cues including the long dark hair under a turban, distinctive gold necklace and saffron-orange robe.
