A photograph inside a open-sided pavilion of a seated figure on a large gilded throne with carved lion-head armrests and a red velvet back. The seated man wears a saffron-orange robe, a multi-coloured flower garland and a small red tilak, with hands pressed together in namaskar and eyes closed. Devotees in white and cream clothes, some in yellow shawls, sit on the floor around the throne. A woman in a pink sari and a man in white hold a lit oil lamp and offerings near the throne's base, and a brass puja tray with flowers and fruit sits in front. A red-and-white draped backdrop and carved red pillar frame the scene. The person on the throne shows cues consistent with the Swamiji candidate: long hair, saffron robe, ornate garland and throne seating.
