A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi and a heavy gold bead necklace, wearing a white dhoti and a cream-gold shawl over bare shoulder, smiling as he sits beside a golden throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange and purple flowers. Behind him a standing monk in saffron-orange robes, wire-rimmed glasses and a gold bead mala places a silver tray of fruit beside him. A hand holding a fruit plate enters the foreground, and a man in white is partly visible at the lower right. A pink-white tent canopy with red swags frames the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back hair, gold ornate necklace and white-and-gold garments on a throne fit the candidate profile, so he is marked in_person.
