A bearded man with eyes closed and a faint smile sits in front of an ornate, silver-and-gold decorated shrine. He wears a tall black braided turban adorned with a green bead strand, rudraksha beads, and a gold ornament with a crescent-shaped pendant. His forehead bears white vibhuti lines with a red bindi, and he has gold earrings and a pink and white flower garland around his neck. Behind him are colourful flower garlands in purple, red, orange and pink, and a large decorated deity murti. The scene suggests a darshan or puja setting. Swamiji (probable): long black turban-style hair with rudraksha and a crown-like ornament, presented as the Swamiji candidate.
