A smiling man in an orange-brown turban and draped saffron-brown robe, wearing a long brown rudraksha mala, walks along a red carpet holding a silver staff with a trident-topped finial. An attendant in white dhoti with gold borders holds a red pole supporting an orange canopy fringed with crystal beads, while another attendant in orange-striped robes holds a silver trident at the left edge. Ornate lamps and decorations fill the blurred background of a festive ceremonial hall. Swamiji (probable): the man in the central position fits the page's Swamiji claim by his brown turban, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, so he is presented as an in-person candidate.
