Indoor hall scene where a person in a brown-orange draped garment with a gold-toned cloth, a brown-orange turban with a gold ornament, a long gold bead necklace, gold bangles and armbands raises a hand in blessing toward a devotee. The devotee in a green-and-maroon striped shirt with brown beads and orange wristband presses palms together in anjali, and a man in white kurta with rudraksha beads stands nearby with head bowed. Other devotees in white and a few people in orange clothing stand behind metal stanchions. In the background a golden deity murti and a red curtain with floral decoration are visible, and a white ceiling with recessed lights and a projector screen completes the room. This is an appearance-based candidate who is physically present, with distinctive turban, ornate gold jewellery and orange-brown clothing; the identification is probable only from appearance, not from the face.
