Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy and red cushions, beneath a carved stone relief of a multi-armed deity. He wears a maroon turban, ochre-brown robes, a long rope-like beaded necklace and a bangle on his wrist, with hands folded in his lap and eyes closed. A microphone stands before him. A golden trident (trishul) and a silver staff stand at left beside a gold-draped table with a brass vessel and water bottles. Two potted green plants flank the throne. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in a maroon turban and ochre robes with a rudraksha-style mala, in a discourse setting.
