A seated figure in long, swept-back dark hair and a flowing orange robe sits on a white sofa with dark cushions, smiling broadly while receiving a white bag with red handles from a kneeling devotee in orange robes. Another man in orange with a full black beard and ornate gold necklace stands at right holding a stack of orange-wrapped packages. A third person in white clothing stands at the top right near camera equipment. A framed portrait labelled "PARAMAHAMSA" hangs on the wall behind, showing a figure in orange with a gold necklace. A leopard-print mat and striped rug lie on the floor, with a small table holding a gold tray, a bottle, and books at left. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, orange clothing and gold necklace match the probable Swamiji cues, so this is an appearance-based candidate.
