A photograph of a standing man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged dhoti-style wrap and a long gold-bead necklace, arms raised holding an open printed booklet overhead. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and gold bangles, and stands on a cushioned pedestal before an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow, red and purple flower garlands and a golden canopy. A bald attendant in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at left holding a blue gift box. Behind them are white balustrades and a terracotta-tiled roof. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and ceremonial throne match the page's claim of his presence, so the figure is the Paramashivam candidate in person.
