A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands clasped in his lap. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt, seen from behind with his shorter hair, raises a lit camphor flame toward him in aarti, while silver lamps and offering plates with flower petals sit below. Golden floral carvings and a red and yellow draped backdrop with marigold garlands frame the scene. The orange-robed seated man has long swept-back hair, a red tilak, rudraksha mala and saffron robes, matching the page's cues for the Swamiji candidate, so the appearance-based label applies.
