A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a red stage holding a tall golden trident in his right hand. He wears an orange-red turban, a leopard-print sleeveless top, a rudraksha-style necklace, a long pink and white flower garland, and rust-orange dhoti-style cloth. Behind him sits a golden nandi bull and a tiger-striped cushion before a large dark deity murti. Rows of golden trishul staffs line the stage, a white pedestal fan stands at right, and a blue cloudy backdrop fills the wall. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, rudraksha necklace and ornate garlands match the candidate's cues, so the figure is identified only by appearance.
