A seated man in saffron and orange robes sits cross-legged on a red and navy patterned carpet under a yellow and red canopy. He wears a red-orange turban, a dense rudraksha mala, a large ornate gold pendant necklace, gold bangles and a gold armband, and he smiles with hands resting in his lap. Behind him, men in white dhotis and orange garments stand, one holding a tall red staff topped with a brass trident, others wearing rudraksha and marigold garlands. A uniformed security officer in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at the right, with a badge lanyard. Several people hold phones and papers in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the probable candidate; his face is not used for identification.
