Outdoor ceremony under a canopy strung with colourful tassels in red, yellow, green and white. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange shawl, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a gold chain, sits on a white-cushioned seat, with a white cloth-draped tray before him. Nearby a man in an orange robe sits behind him, and a man in white clothing stands with one arm raised holding a striped pole. In the foreground a woman in orange with hair in a bun sits with hands held together, and a person with hands folded in añjali is at left. The swamiji candidate matches long hair, saffron clothing and ornate necklaces, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
