A bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with lion-armrest carvings and a brown velvet backrest against a teal background. He wears a gold crown with a dark topknot and crescent ornament, white forehead markings and a red bindi, multiple strands of pearls and gold beaded necklaces, rudraksha armbands, and a gold waist band over a leopard-print cloth with a rust-coloured dhoti. He raises one hand in blessing while the other rests on a silver kalasha-style vessel. Swamiji (probable): the crown, gold ornamentation, rudraksha and ceremonial jewellery fit the candidate's presentation, so this is an appearance-based label only.
