Three saffron-robed sannyasis sit on ornate gold-carved thrones behind a draped table decorated with orange marigold and white flower garlands. The central figure wears an orange turban, a rudraksha mala and saffron wrap, with long hair visible, and rests his hands together; the candidate in this seat is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues. The man on the left wears an orange shawl and a dark rudraksha mala with eyes closed, and the man on the right has a full dark beard, orange robe and red forehead mark, with hands folded. Water bottles and nameplates sit on the table. Behind the thrones hangs a yellow-orange banner with Kannada script, and a microphone stands at the right edge.
