A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe and long rudraksha malas sits on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carving behind him. He has long dark hair, a beard, and a small red tilak on his forehead, and he smiles while extending his right arm toward a kneeling man in white clothes with a red-and-white checked cloth over his shoulders, who bows low and touches the seated man's hand or foot. A gold oil lamp stands on the left beside a red drape, and a photographer in white clothes behind them holds a camera. A third man in white with sacred thread is partly visible at the left edge. The seated man is a person identified by the robe, malas and throne, so the candidate is present in person.
