Photo of a seated figure on a gold-and-cream throne before a large floral backdrop of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white. The central man wears a brown-saffron cloth draped over the body, layered rudraksha malas, a white flower garland, gold bangles and a gold pendant, and holds a sheet of paper he is reading. A shaved-headed attendant in saffron with a white forehead mark sits to the left holding a bell-like ritual object. Women devotees in the foreground, one with hair pinned and gold earrings, watch the seated figure. Gold ritual vessels and a flowered pillar frame the scene.

A man in white dhoti and white shirt stands at the left side of the throne with hands together near the garland, while a kneeling man in orange robes with a mobile phone sits at far left and a man with folded hands in white appears at the top left edge. Two women in saris stand at right, one in a pink and gold sari and one in a white sari with gold border.

A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears a saffron-orange robe and a white-and-magenta flower garland, with long dark hair swept back, and holds a sheet of paper while looking down at it. A man in a white shirt, white dhoti, and dark rudraksha mala stands bending forward, extending a small offering to the seated figure. A woman in a navy and brown patterned shawl stands at the left with a flower in her hair. A wooden box with fruit sits near the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland on a ceremonial throne, so the candidate is in person. The white-clad man is a devotee.
