A close photograph of a man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron shawl with a gold border and a multi-strand gold necklace with gold beads, plus a rudraksha bead and white prayer-bead mala. He faces slightly to the side against an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala match the Swamiji candidate, though the photo does not show him performing a specific ritual.
