A photograph of a smiling man in a procession, seated on a decorated chariot or palanquin. He wears an ornate gold crown with a central peak, a gold necklace of beads, a red and yellow garland across his chest, and a white dhoti or wrap. A red mark is on his forehead, and he raises one hand to his shoulder. Behind him stands a tall umbrella with red, yellow, green and white panels, decorated with a white dove emblem and fringed with tassels. Yellow marigold garlands hang on the pillars, and green and red tassels hang from the chariot. Swamiji candidate: the man has long swept-back hair, a crown, gold ornate necklace and a garland, matching the page's claim, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate. He is one of the sole people in the frame.
