A man with long, swept-back dark hair and long brown braided strands wears a rust-red wrap over bare shoulders and sits at a small white table beside a brass oil lamp on a silver stand. He uses a small spoon to take substance from a brass bowl, with a microphone in front of him and a folded orange cloth and open notebook on the table. A woman in a patterned top is partly visible at the right edge, and a wooden pillar with gold banding stands at left. The appearance-based cues of long hair, braids, and a ceremonial rust-red wrap match the Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown in person giving a seated discourse with lamp and offering ritual.
