A figure seated on the right wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace, gold armbands and an orange-and-red turban, and holds a silver trident beside the throne; the appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, shown in person on the throne. Four women in white and rust-coloured garments sit on the carpet with hands folded, one wearing a blue sari, while a silver plate with flower petals and a tray of oil lamps sits in front. A cameraman with a tripod-mounted camera films on the left, and a red-and-gold backdrop with painted figures stands behind.
