Photograph of a stage event in front of a white banner with red lettering reading Life Bliss Pro and Level I. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, with brass oil lamps and fruit offerings on trays beside him. Devotees in white and orange kneel before him, one raising hands in a gesture of reverence while others sit nearby. Tripod-mounted cameras and monitors are in the foreground, and a brass lamp stands at the right. The man seated on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identified by long swept-back hair, an orange shawl and rudraksha mala.
