A photograph of a seated ceremony in a hall. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a leopard-print shawl, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a small microphone stand before it. A gold and red backdrop with painted deity imagery is behind him. Around him, about a dozen devotees sit on the floor in white, cream and yellow saris, white dhotis and kurtas, some holding brass plates and cups. A shaved-headed man in white with a red-bordered cloth sits at right. A small table with fruit and offerings sits at the throne's side. The figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identified by his long hair, saffron robe and throne seating.
