A man with long, wavy black hair leans forward over a grey stone ledge, his face lowered toward the stone and his right hand resting open on the stone. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads that hangs down past the ledge. A white tilak mark is visible on his forehead. The carved stone pillar behind him suggests a temple setting. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala match the cues for the Swamiji candidate.
