A photograph of a white electric golf cart with a clear canopy moving along a paved driveway outside an ornate pink temple building with decorated pillars and pinnacles. A man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back hair sits in the cart's passenger area beside a man in a maroon-red shawl who sits at the wheel. Around them a group of men in white dhotis and white shirts, several with orange shawls and some carrying bags, walk alongside and behind the cart. Greenery and a parked bicycle are visible at right. The saffron robes, long hair and seated position of the orange-robed man are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, so he is treated as a probable in-person candidate.
