A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and heavy gold necklaces holds up a folded Hindi newspaper, Avantika Prahari, showing a photo of a fire ritual and a grid of smaller images, and smiles toward the viewer. He sits on a red cushioned seat in front of an elaborately carved gold throne back. He has white tilak markings on his forehead and temples, a red bindi, and gold bangles on his upper arm. Beside him a younger attendant in orange robes, with a gold necklace, a rudraksha band on the arm and white markings on the arms, stands behind a gold pole. A woman in a dark sari with a small red bindi is partly visible at the lower left, and a purple cloth lies at the bottom. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, gold ornaments and rudraksha-style adornments matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate.
