A photograph of a thatched-roof hall where a woman with long dark hair, in an orange saffron garment and a red-orange shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace, sits on an ornate gold-painted throne with a gold canopy and carved lion-footed base. She holds up one hand in a gesture while facing a projection screen. Two other women sit at a desk with a laptop, monitor and blue tablecloth, and a third woman sits on the right near the screen. The projection shows a video of people. A video camera is at the left edge and a striped mat covers the floor. The woman on the throne matches the appearance cues for the Swamiji candidate, with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so the identification is probable.
