A circular-cropped photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe and orange turban, seen mostly from behind, wearing a long white flower garland and a gold-toned necklace. In front of him a white-clad older man with grey hair, glasses-free, wears a black rudraksha-style mala and a gold bangle, bending close and holding a yellow object near the seated figure's shoulder. Behind them a man in a white shirt with a black mala stands at left, and another orange-robed attendant stands at upper right. A tray of wrapped sweets sits on a table at right, and a dim evening setting with a small banana plant and string lights shows behind. The seated figure is an appearance-based Swamiji candidate with orange turban, gold necklace and long garland, so the identity is Swamiji (probable) as a person in the scene.
