A man with long swept-back dark hair, a white and red forehead mark, a full dark beard and moustache sits on a throne-like seat draped with a tiger-striped cloth, speaking into a microphone. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless garment, multiple strands of brown rudraksha mala beads, gold necklaces with a pendant, and gold earrings. His left hand rests on a gilded horn-shaped armrest, and red-curtained backdrop, potted green plants and a brass lamp stand behind him. Cues consistent with the Swamiji candidate are present: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated in an honoured position before an audience.
