A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and red velvet cushions, hands clasped in his lap, a white turban on his head, multiple rudraksha-style beaded malas and a gold ceremonial necklace around his neck, and a silver staff leaning beside the throne. Two large gilded lion statues flank the throne. Behind, two painted deity figures with multiple arms and gold jewellery stand on each side. The setting suggests a stage or temple hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long-established visible cues of saffron clothing, a turban, beaded malas and gold necklace, and is presented on a throne, so he is labelled as the in-person candidate.
