Photograph on a stage with a glossy white floor. A figure in an orange turban, sleeveless orange top and orange dhoti with long dark hair and a flowing orange shawl stands with back to camera, placing a garland of white and red-yellow flowers on a man in white shirt and white trousers who wears a pink-gold shawl and glasses and bows his head. A second man in beige shirt and trousers stands behind. On the right a shaved-headed man in white kurta, white dhoti and yellow shawl with rudraksha mala holds an orange cloth and a tray. Behind the stage a banner shows Kannada script in red and a large cutout portrait. Water bottles sit on the floor. The orange-clad figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues (long swept hair, orange turban and clothing), so this is an in-person candidate.
