A photograph inside a temple-like hall with white and cream walls and a stone pillar. On the left, a man in an orange-saffron shawl and ornate headband with a gold necklace and rudraksha bracelets, his arms and chest marked with white ash, gestures with his raised hands while smiling toward an older man in a white shirt at right, who stands smiling with white hair and white tilak markings. Behind them, a shaved-headed figure in orange robes and rudraksha mala sits on a golden throne, appearing to be a statue or seated figure. A saffron flag with an emblem hangs behind the left figure, and a small silver vessel rests on the throne cushions. The left figure shows distinctive saffron clothing and adornments, so the candidate is labelled a probable Swamiji in appearance, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
