A photograph of a large indoor hall with cream walls, red curtains and ceiling lights. A smiling person with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold earrings, a rudraksha mala and an ornate saffron-orange garment with gold trim raises one hand in blessing toward a bowing devotee in a white shirt who presses palms together and bows his head. A woman in a white patterned top holds a black handbag beside him, and a boy in a green shirt joins his hands in greeting at left. Other devotees in white and bright clothing stand along a metal barrier behind them. Hall-side figures include a shaved-headed man with a white forehead marking. The appearance-based candidate, a figure in saffron with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair, is the blessing figure, shown as Swamiji (probable).
