A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne decorated with a flower-covered backrest of yellow, white, purple and pink blossoms. He wears a turquoise sleeveless garment with matching trousers, a heavy gold multi-bead necklace and a red bindi on his forehead. A long white and pink garland hangs over his shoulders and chest, and a flower bundle rests at his feet. Gold-framed floral footstool and a red-and-gold canopy with tassels frame the scene. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and turquoise clothing.
