Four young men in matching saffron-orange kurta-style clothing perform headstand yoga poses side by side on a white stage. Their legs are crossed in the air, feet bare. Behind them, a gold-framed portrait of a smiling man wearing an orange turban with a red bindi and an orange shawl hangs above a golden throne with a red velvet cushion and a tiger-skin cover, in front of deep red velvet curtains. The portrait is not a physical person and no candidate is present in person, so this is a depiction only if the portrait itself is treated as a Swamiji depiction. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues in the portrait include orange turban and orange shawl.
