In the centre, a man with swept-back hair, a tilak on his forehead, a heavy gold necklace and an orange-saffron garment walks forward with a white and orange floral garland held at his side; his distinctive long hair and ornate gold necklace are the appearance cues for the Swamiji (probable) candidate. Beside him, a bald man in saffron robes and rudraksha mala holds a small object. Behind them, a woman in a brown and gold sari and other men in white shirts and dhotis follow, and a crowd of men in white and checked shirts stands in the background near yellow and blue metal barriers.
