A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and saffron shawl is adorned with long garlands of white flowers interspersed with green, pink, orange and blue flower sections, plus dark rudraksha malas and a gold pendant at the chest. Flower petals are scattered on the white-covered seat. Behind them a man in a white shirt and grey trousers stands with arms folded, and a poster with a portrait of a smiling person in an orange turban hangs on the wall. The room has beige walls and a wooden door. Appearance cues including the turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas make this a Swamiji (probable) in person, seated and garlanded during the event.
