A smiling man in saffron-orange sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-and-red throne, giving a thumbs-up with his right hand while his left rests on his knee. He wears a long strand of large gold beads with a gold pendant, a second thin gold chain, and a red bindi with white vertical marks on his forehead. A microphone stand is angled in front of him. The throne has carved gold filigree and red velvet cushions. The man's face and appearance match the visible cues of the Swamiji candidate on the page, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha-style gold beads, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji seated in a teaching role.
