Outdoor ceremony under a canopy with a white wall behind. A long-haired man in orange robes with a red bindi smiles while holding two plush toys, a white-and-red teddy bear with a blue bow and an orange cat, on an orange cushioned seat with gold borders. He wears a gold-chained necklace and sits on a red patterned carpet with a yellow and orange floral rangoli in front. Behind him, another man in white with glasses and a man in orange robes with a gold necklace stand. Left, an elderly woman in orange sits with a fan. A Kannada sign reads Sri Amandeshwara temple with a red-and-white banner. The long-haired seated man matches a Swamiji candidate by long swept-back hair, orange robes and gold necklace, though appearance is only probable. Several people are visible.
