A seated man in rust-orange saffron robes sits cross-legged on a red velvet cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like figures and a tall arched back. He wears a gold necklace with a large ornamental pendant, layered rudraksha-style beaded malas, gold bangles on both upper arms and wrists, and a red bindi on his forehead. His feet are bare and rest on a tiger-striped cloth draped over the platform. Pink flowers and white blossoms hang from the top of the frame against a white backdrop. Appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments match the Swamiji (probable) candidate seated on the throne. A printed ornamental logo appears on the lower left corner of the photo.
