Behind them, a standing priest in a rust-red dhoti with a striped gold border and a beaded rudraksha-style mala looks on, a young man in a white shirt watches, and a gold-topped staff and microphone stand beside the throne.

A seated man with swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark, gold earrings and a long garland of red, yellow and white flowers rests his right hand on the bowed head of a kneeling devotee in orange robes and glasses. The seated man wears a maroon wrap over a leopard-print cloth and stacked beaded bangles, and he sits on a red-upholstered chair. Behind them, two women in orange robes stand with hands folded, beside a gold-toned deity murti, a purple cloth draped over a table, and a bank of flower garlands. A water-cooling fan stands in the background. The gesture appears to be a blessing given during darshan. a person appearance cues include the swept-back hair, gold ornaments and flower garland; the seated man is the candidate.

Behind them stand several people in matching orange-red robes and garlands, and the seated figure sits on an ornate silver-embossed throne. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas, orange robe) is blessing the devotee in what appears to be a ritual or satsang setting. Visible people: about six or more in the scene.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a red-curtained hall, wearing a rust-orange turban, long rudraksha and gold bead malas, bangles and an orange-and-gold dress, smiling and resting a hand on a cushion. Seated beside him is a bald man with a yellow tilak, glasses and a rudraksha mala over orange-red robes, hands folded. A kneeling man with long hair in a bun and an orange shawl presses his palms together before the throne. Standing behind are people in white and cream dhotis with rudraksha malas and a woman in a blue kurta and red leggings. Behind the throne stands a brass oil lamp and a gilded deity murti. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji (probable), is the figure on the throne, identified by the turban, rudraksha and gold malas and ceremonial dress; the cues are compatible but not fully distinctive.
