A smiling man seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a saffron-orange turban with gold ornaments and a crescent emblem, an orange-red robe draped over his shoulders, layered rudraksha malas, gold necklaces and orange beaded armbands. Behind him a large silver-embossed decorative backdrop and a dark red curtain frame the stage. A bearded person is visible in a ceremonial sannyasi-style dress with the swami-like cues of turban and rudraksha, which is consistent with the Swamiji candidate; the appearance is distinctive enough to label as probable. The image shows a single speaker on stage.
