A photograph in a hall with red velvet drapes. A man with grey hair, wearing a white kurta and a rudraksha mala with a small name badge, kneels on a white-draped platform and touches the forehead of a seated figure. That seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, wears an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, and sits on a white-covered couch beside a tall brass oil lamp with a flame and flower. Behind them a man in orange robes sits on the floor, and a potted palm stands at left. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so the in-person candidate is probable, while the kneeling devotee in white is a devotee.
