Behind them, a colourful striped cloth covers a stage and a white platform with flowers is at right. Several people in white garments stand in the background. The bearded figure at left and the smiling turbaned man are both in orange saffron clothing with gold ornaments, consistent with the candidate description; the appearance is a probable Swamiji match based on the turban, orange robes, gold necklace and garland cues.
