Indoor hall with tiled ceiling and red curtains. A man in a brown and gold sleeveless garment with long layered beaded necklace, bangles and forehead tilak stands at right, receiving or handing over a folded white paper to an older bearded man in orange robes and a pink headcloth. Left, a man in a white shirt watches with hands clasped. Behind, men in orange and white sashes stand in a line, and a tray of fruit sits at lower right with a red box. Right-side figures in orange-brown robes and sashes stand by the wall. The person in brown and gold has long swept-back hair and gold necklace, cues consistent with the Swamiji candidate, so the appearance-based label applies.
