A photograph of a seated man in a large brown leather armchair with carved wooden armrests, smiling broadly and wearing a small wireless headset microphone. He has long dark hair swept back, a red bindi on his forehead, a saffron-orange garment draped over his shoulders and body, a thick beaded mala necklace and a large gold pendant. Around him sit a dense audience of devotees in white clothes with saffron-orange sashes and lanyards, many smiling and some clapping. A white teacup and saucer sit on a small table beside the chair, and a red backdrop with a gold-draped altar appears behind. Posters are visible on the left wall. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate for Swamiji (probable), shown in person on a throne-like chair with a saffron garment, long hair and a gold pendant with mala beads.
