A seated man in flowing saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair swept back, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a gold footstool. He smiles and extends one arm toward two young boys standing before him; the boy in the blue shirt and jeans and the boy in the red shirt and grey trousers reach toward him, one holding a beaded bracelet. Behind them stands another person in orange robes. A fruit basket sits beside the throne, and the backdrop is a large colourful printed image of an ornate temple facade. The figure on the throne matches the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate, with long swept-back hair and saffron robes, and is shown blessing the children.
