Photograph in a hall at night showing a long-haired man in saffron-orange unstitched robes and a rudraksha mala, hands in a gesture of address, standing before two men in white shirts with palms pressed together in namaste; one has a lanyard and gold bracelet. A shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti with a gold necklace stands at right beside a tray holding fruit and a rudraksha mala. Orange draped fabric and floral decorations hang in the background. Several other people stand behind. The long-haired man with rudraksha mala and saffron robes matches the Swamiji candidate cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable).
