A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and rudraksha mala raises one hand in blessing on a white draped throne with white bolsters, before a dark red curtain. A microphone stand is at right and a vase of red and white flowers with a water bottle sits at left. In the foreground a kneeling devotee in orange robes bows toward the seated figure's feet, which rest on a low wooden footstool. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a red tilak, and the orange robes, long rudraksha mala and dais setting match the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate; this is a probable in-person identification based on those cues. Scene is a satsang-style gathering on a stage.
