A seated man in an ornate gilded throne with a curved, carved golden backrest. He wears an orange saffron wrap draped over his shoulders and torso, long rudraksha malas with dark beads, and garlands of yellow and magenta flowers around his neck and lap. His eyes are closed and his hands rest on his knees. Behind him are a golden kalasha-style finial and marigold garlands. The swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial throne match the page's Swamiji (probable) cues, so the subject is treated as an in-person candidate.
