A crowd gathers outside a red-walled building with an open sliding-gate entrance and a white rangoli-style floor design in front. At centre, a bare-chested man with long swept-back hair wears an orange-saffron shawl over a rust-red dhoti with gold borders, a rudraksha mala, and a garland, gesturing with his right hand as he speaks. Beside him, a woman in a rust-red sari with a gold border and a red-brown shawl holds a rudraksha mala and stands among devotees. Around them, men in white dhotis and white shirts, and children in casual clothes, including a girl in an orange top and a boy in a dark jacket, watch. Several people carry orange cloth bags. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues is consistent with the Swamiji candidate, so he is described as probable Swamiji (probable) in the discourse-event context.
