A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, decorated with a garland of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers. He wears a saffron-yellow turban, a white dhoti-style wrap draped over one shoulder, a heavy gold necklace and bead mala, and is smiling with palms pressed together. Beside the throne sits an elderly bearded man in orange-saffron robes with folded hands. Behind them hangs an orange backdrop with the word Dasara in large letters and a Kannada phrase, plus a decorative image of an ornamented deity figure. The man on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, given the turban, long hair, gold necklace and wrap cues.
