Outdoor photo of a long-haired man in an orange-red robe standing before a silver trident-topped staff set in a sandy ground strewn with pink and red petals. He wears a multicoloured flower garland, rudraksha mala beads, a gold chain and a gold bangle, with a red bindi on his forehead, and raises one palm in greeting. Behind him a large crowd of men and women stands close, several in white dhotis and shirts, one woman in a cream sari, and a woman in a pink headscarf. To the right a brass tray holds rose petals, a conch shell, a small bell and oil lamps. The person in front is shown with appearance cues consistent with the Swamiji candidate (long swept-back hair, orange robe, rudraksha and gold ornaments), presented as a probable Swamiji (probable) at a ceremony beside the staff.
