A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on a red throne decorated with a garland arch of yellow, purple and white flowers. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and holds a small brass figure, and he smiles as he faces a visitor. The visitor, a man with short hair in a grey patterned jacket and a purple shawl, leans forward with hands together and wears orange cloth at the waist. Behind them a woman in a yellow sari stands near an orange and red backdrop. Visible cues on the seated man include long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in an in-person setting.
