A photograph of a bearded man with a tilak and long swept-back hair seated on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, gesturing with one raised hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-brown robe, a white and pink flower garland, and heavy gold necklaces including a large gold pendant, with gold bangles on his wrists and a rudraksha-style bead bracelet. Behind him are orange and gold decorative panels, a golden leafy arrangement, and a brass lamp with a bird-shaped spout at the lower right. A traditional lamp and a small orange cup sit near the throne. The figure matches the Swamiji candidate cues of long hair, ornate gold jewellery, garland and ceremonial seat, so the identity is appearance-based and probable.
