A photograph in a hall with orange sofa-style seating and a dark ornate frame behind it. A long-haired man in orange robes and a multi-strand orange-and-gold beaded garland sits centrally on an orange throne-like sofa, smiling. Several people in white kurtas with yellow shawls and orange-sashed white attire stand and kneel around him; one man in white with an orange scarf leans in from the left, a woman in white with a yellow shawl on the right bends forward, and both are handing rolled white papers or scrolls toward the seated figure's hands and a child's hands. In the foreground, a bald elderly man in white with a purple-and-orange shawl kneels, and other devotees sit with their backs partly to the camera. Wall fans and ceiling lights are visible. The seated man in orange, wearing a garland and seated on a throne, is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate: long swept-back hair, orange robes and a ceremonial garland, with the page indicating his presence.
