A photograph of a large indoor gathering with a crowd seated on the floor in front of a raised golden-and-brown chair. A man with long swept-back dark hair stands beside the chair, wearing a rust-brown robe, a thick rudraksha mala, a gold-bordered waist belt and a long ceremonial gold garland, with bangles on his wrists; his appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate described on the page, though his face is not used for identification. To his left stands a young attendant in an orange sleeveless robe with beaded garlands and a water bottle. On the right a young man in a white shirt and trousers with an ID badge stands beside a silver staff and a small black electronic device. Behind them a seated woman in a red-brown sari and many seated devotees fill the hall under white fabric draping, with a camera on a tripod visible in the background.
