A photograph of a seated man smiling broadly, wearing a thick red, white and pink flower garland and a gold-coloured neck ornament, with a red-tilaka mark on his forehead and an orange-red cloth draped over his shoulders. He sits on a golden-yellow cushioned seat in front of a tall arrangement of yellow, orange, red and green garlands. Beside him a golden lion-shaped ornament and a woven basket of flowers sit near the seat. On the left a shaved-headed man in an orange-brown garment is partly visible.

He wears a long beaded gold-toned necklace and an orange shawl across his lap.

Two devotees bow before him: on the left an older man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste, and on the right a woman in a pink and white sari bending forward. Two golden kalasha-style pots flank the throne base. Behind is a pink and silver draped backdrop. The page identifies this as Swamiji with a paduka yatra event; the appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial garland are consistent with the page claim, so the candidate is marked probable.
