A man with long dark hair and a red bindi walks barefoot along a red carpet in a covered hall, wearing a red draped garment with gold-bordered edges and a long black rudraksha mala. He is positioned centrally, with metal handrails along both sides of the carpet. Behind him, a second person in red-and-gold clothing follows, and a gilded deity murti with floral garlands stands in the background beneath an orange canopy. Several onlookers in colourful clothes stand at the right edge beside the railing. The man's appearance with long hair, red clothing and rudraksha mala is a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown in person walking in procession.
