A photograph of a man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron shawl over a bare upper body, a tripundra of white with a red bindi on his forehead, and a long dark rudraksha mala draped down his chest. He sits in front of an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral carving, and a red cushion is visible at his side. The background shows a blurred red, white and floral-garlanded backdrop. Appearance cues fit the Swamiji candidate, with long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and a throne, so this is a probable identification from appearance only. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the centre of the frame, alone.
