A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a red bindi on his forehead. He wears a heavy ceremonial necklace of large gold-toned beads with dark banded sections, and a gold clasp hangs at his chest. He is turned to the side, smiling slightly, against a dark blue curtain backdrop, with a golden object visible at the left edge and another orange-clad figure at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron shawl and ornate gold rudraksha-style mala are the qualifying cues for this candidate, shown in a photograph taken at a formal event.
