A dense crowd of devotees surrounds a central group in an indoor temple-like setting with gold-painted pillars and flower garlands in the background. At centre, an elderly man with white hair and a white beard, wearing an orange saffron robe with a green-edged sash, stands facing a younger man with long dark hair and a gold-colored necklace of ornaments, dressed in orange robes with a red tilak, who gestures with his raised hand. Around them, men in white shirts and white dhotis wear gold chains and sacred marks, and a man in a white shirt holds a garland. Appearance-based probable candidate: Swamiji (probable), the younger man in orange robes with long hair, gold ornaments and a gesturing hand, in the midst of the devotees.
