A photograph taken at an indoor hall at night, with stage lights overhead and a green carpet on the floor. A man in red-orange saffron clothing with long dark hair and a crown-like head covering stands on the right, tenderly placing his hand on the forehead of an older man with grey hair and a white moustache, who wears a white shirt and white dhoti. Behind them, people in orange and white clothing watch, a woman in a white sari with gold border and a long plait stands on the left, and a bright garland of white and yellow flowers hangs at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the man in saffron with long swept-back hair, a crown-like adornment and red-orange robes is the appearance-based candidate, shown in person performing a blessing gesture.
