A man in white kurta with a grey-and-black patterned shawl hands a white document to a smiling bearded man in a rust-brown robe, gold necklaces and a brown-and-red turban with a feather ornament, who has long hair falling down his back. Both stand in front of a red flag and a red-upholstered throne with silver carved arms. The dais is draped with marigold and red flower garlands, and a tall carved red pillar stands at right. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, long hair, rust-brown robe and gold ceremonial necklaces, receiving the document as the central figure.
