A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair seated cross-legged on a white cushioned throne at an event. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a rudraksha-style ornament is not visible; a dark tilak mark is on his forehead. He holds up a small book with a red-orange cover showing a smiling woman in orange, and a microphone stand is at his side. Behind him is a blue banner with large black lettering. The appearance matches the page's Swamiji candidate with several cues including long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial setting, so the candidate is labelled probable. Printed text on the book is in Tamil script.
