A seated man in an orange saffron robe wearing a long pink-red rose garland and a rudraksha mala sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne with ornate golden carving, smiling as he raises his hand to the head of a man in white kurta and white dhoti who bows toward him. Beside them a man in white with an orange shawl stands at left and a cameraman films with a handheld video camera. A woman in a dark striped top stands at right. Behind them are carved stone pillars, a red curtain and a metal gate. The visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ornate throne match the Swamiji (probable) candidate seated on the throne receiving a devotee's bow.
