A photograph inside a home where a long-haired figure in an orange-and-maroon cloth with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace bends forward to bless a seated man in white. The figure, wearing gold bangles, holds a tray with offerings. Behind them, saffron-robed men with shaved heads and ash marks stand and kneel, and a woman in a red sari and a blue-trimmed saree with rudraksha beads watches with hands folded. A seated man in glasses and white clothes has his hands joined in namaskar, a child in glasses and a white shirt sits beside him, and another man in a red-and-white flower garland is at right. A television stands in the background. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), the long-haired figure in orange-and-maroon clothes with rudraksha and gold necklace, performing a blessing as a devotee in pada puja style.
