Profile photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged in an indoor setting, wearing an orange-saffron shawl wrapped over his bare shoulder and a red bindi on his forehead. Long black hair is tied back in a bun, and he wears a heavy necklace of large gold-toned beads with dark bands, plus a dark cord. Behind him stands a brass oil lamp (deepa) with a lit flame beside a dark curtain, and a plate of fruit with an apple and flower petals sits to the right. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), identified by the orange shawl, the rudraksha-style gold mala and the long hair in a bun, with no caption naming him in the image.
