A bearded man seated cross-legged on a raised dais draped with a striped tiger-print cloth, wearing a rust-red turban with a jewelled brooch and a long dark braid down his back. He wears a red-orange shawl over a leopard-print garment, heavy gold necklaces with rudraksha beads, rudraksha armbands and bracelets. He holds a gold spouted vessel in one hand and a gold ladle-like spoon in the other while smiling at the audience. A large crowd of seated devotees fills the hall behind him, with a bright screen on the right and a brass ritual vessel at left. The man has distinctive long dark hair, rudraksha and ornate saffron-red clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) appearance-based candidate physically present, with the audience visible in the background.
