In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, a large ornate gold-and-bead necklace, and smiles. The figure has distinctive long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing, a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate standing in the group. Around him, men in orange saffron robes and white dhotis with red or orange shawls stand; one in white shirt and dark trousers stands near the throne; a man in white with a black belt pouch stands at left beside a wooden podium; an older man in white with a red shawl stands at right. Many people are visible, several with shaved or bald heads, and a dark backdrop holds brass lamps and decorations.
