A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and a matching orange turban sits on a gold-carved throne with golden lion-head armrests and red velvet cushions, bare feet extended. A man in a beige shirt kneels and touches the feet, a padapuja-style honour. Beside them a bald man in saffron robe and gold necklace sits on a red floor, and a standing priest in white dhoti holds a ritual implement. Behind them a framed painting shows deities on a decorated background. A rudraksha mala and long braided hair are visible on the throne figure. The seated figure matches cues of long hair, saffron robe, turban and rudraksha mala, and appears to be the Swamiji candidate.
