A seated figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a dark blue garment with a brown patterned shawl, several strands of gold beaded necklaces and a bare upper arm with a white bandage, gestures with one hand while speaking at a table with a silver platter, steel bowls and a tumbler. A second man in a white shirt and glasses sits at the left eating from a bowl, and another person's arm with gold bangles reaches into the frame. Behind them are a red curtain, a small red chair, stairs and a plastic chair in a hall. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate, with long hair, gold beaded necklaces and a shawl, so this is a probable identification from appearance.
