A photograph on an ornate golden stage set with carved pillars, lion statues and a rangoli-style floral design on the floor. A standing man in a white shirt and grey trousers watches on the left. In the centre, a robed figure in a red-brown dhoti and shawl with a long beaded mala and a crown-like headpiece stands beside a red-cushioned throne; the figure's appearance matches the page's cues for the Swamiji candidate, so this is a probable depiction. A devotee in a green sari kneels on the rangoli, bending forward. Two gold-framed sofas with red cushions flank the scene, with red flower petals scattered on the stage floor.
