A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands in a hall, wearing a red shawl draped over one shoulder, rudraksha beads, a pearl and gold necklace, and a rudraksha armlet with gold clasps. He is speaking and gesturing with one hand. Behind him, a man in white and other people are blurred, and a blue curtain and colourful pillar form the background. The strong visible cues (long hair, red shawl, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold necklace) match the Swamiji (probable) appearance, so this is a probable in-person candidate.
