A photograph of a satsang-style hall where a man in a rust-red and gold-bordered garment with a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and gold armlets places his hand on the head of a bowed, grey-haired man. The bowed man and a man in a white shirt with glasses stand with palms pressed together in namaste along a line of silver stanchions. The man in the red garment has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead and a broad smile; the hall behind has a red velvet drape, a gold-decorated throne with a red cushion, a lectern, camera tripods and seated devotees in white. The man in the red garment is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-gold clothing, placing his hand on a devotee's head in blessing.
