A photograph of a bearded man seated before a silver-toned ornamental backdrop with a lion-face relief and a red background. He wears a red turban with a crescent moon ornament and a white feather-like piece, a vertical tilak on his forehead, and layered red and white beaded necklaces with gold pendants and bracelets. He is bare-chested with a red shawl draped over his shoulders, and his right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks into a microphone on a stand. The distinctive turban, crescent, rudraksha-style beaded malas and ceremonial gold jewellery match the page's Swamiji (probable) cues, so he is noted as a probable in-person candidate for Swamiji.
