Close photograph of a smiling man in profile, wearing a pale cream textured turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, long dark hair swept back, and an ornate embroidered lilac and blue jacket with sequins. He wears layered white and red-and-purple flower garlands and heavy gold beaded necklaces. Behind him is a large ornate gold carved throne back. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, turban, ornate clothing, garlands and gold necklaces match the appearance cues for the subject of the page, so he is labelled as a probable in-person candidate.
