A seated figure in orange robes and a white flower garland sits on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, against a backdrop of white flower drapery and red-and-white floral arches. Devotees attend him: a bald man in orange robes stands at left holding a small white paper, a man in a white shirt and navy track pants stands before the throne with his hands raised toward the seated figure, and women in white and cream saris with yellow borders kneel and stand at right. A red carpet covers the floor and a garland rests at the throne's base. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark swept-back hair and orange robes with a white flower garland, matching the page's Swamiji presentation, and the appearance cues are sufficient for an in-person candidate.
