Close photo of a smiling man in a red and purple bandhani turban with a dark red tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange-red shawl with a red floral border and a heavy necklace of gold beads with black bands. A small clip-on lapel microphone is pinned to his shawl. He raises one open hand in a blessing gesture against a red backdrop and gold ornate carved decoration. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange clothing, gold bead necklace and turban match the appearance cues, and the page flags Swamiji at this event, so this is an in-person candidate.
