A seated man in orange robes sits on a red velvet throne set on a raised red-cushioned dais, holding a silver staff in one hand and a small object in the other, wearing a long gold-bead necklace. Before him, a woman in a white sari sits on the floor with palms pressed together in namaste, and a shaven-headed man in orange robes kneels at the right, also with palms joined. Behind the throne is a painted backdrop of a stone temple gateway with orange and colourful garlands, flanked by a large forest tree scene. Brass lamps stand on either side. The seated figure matches the Swamiji candidate by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, so the identification is probable. Overhead, fluorescent ceiling lights.
