A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with a red velvet back and cushions, smiling with eyes closed and raising one hand in blessing. He wears a rust-brown turban with a silver crescent ornament, a rust-brown robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, layered gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. A microphone stand is near his face. Behind him are a golden gilded backdrop and painted panels, and to the left stands a gold trident and a small side table holding a mug printed with a portrait. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with the rust turban, crescent ornament, layered gold necklaces and flower garland is the appearance-based candidate, seated in a satsang setting.
