A procession-style scene in a temple corridor with blue pillars. In the centre, a bearded man in a red-brown dhoti wears a long garland of red and white flowers, a gold chest ornament and a tall crown of pink flowers, with a tilak on his forehead. Flanking him, shaved-topknot men wear orange and saffron cloths, rudraksha mala strands and silver-chain necklaces. A bare-chested man on the right faces them with hands clasped, and a white-clad devotee stands behind. The swami candidate is the centre figure with flower crown and gold ornaments; this is an appearance-based probable identification with several cues.
