A man with long dreadlocked hair, a bare upper body and a loose rust-red shawl sits on an ornate silver-and-cream carved chair, leaning forward as he takes food with his right hand. In front of him a metal bowl holds a yellow-brown stew with a lump of rice and a ladle is being held by a person whose arm reaches in from the left. Behind him seated people in white dhotis and a man in a teal shirt sit on a red cloth, with a metal thali plate in the foreground. The man's forehead shows white markings and his appearance resembles the Swamiji candidate with distinctive long hair and rust-red shawl, so this is a probable match by appearance cues.
