A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved, rounded backrest, dressed in saffron-red robes with a gold border and a matching red turban with a small red mark on the forehead. He wears a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold bead spacers and a gold pendant, and holds a thin stick or wand to his lips with his right hand while his left hand rests on his knee. He sits on a leopard-print cushion with red bolster pillows at either side. Brass lamps with lit oil flames stand on the left and right, and a partially visible figure in a patterned sari stands at the far right edge. The page-marked Swamiji candidate shows a turban, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, so the identity is probable from appearance.
