A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate white and red throne, smiling broadly and giving a thumbs-up with his right hand. He wears an orange-brown saffron-toned robe, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large pendant, layered rudraksha-style beads, and a white vibhuti mark with a red dot on his forehead. Potted plants with orange flowers surround the throne, and behind him a golden deity murti with a yellow and white cloth stands before a gold-trimmed altar with green draping. A golden staff stands to the left. Appearance cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron-toned robe) match the Swamiji (probable) candidate seated on the throne as the presiding figure.
