A smiling man with long swept-back hair, a white tilak on the forehead and a red dot between the brows, sits on a red throne-like seat. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and a bare upper body with gold chains, and a long garland of pink flowers with blue and yellow ribbons hangs around his neck and chest with a rudraksha mala strand. Behind him is a flower arrangement of red, yellow and white blossoms. Two men in white and dark clothing lean in toward him from the left and bottom, and another person is visible at the right edge. The seated man matches the appearance cues of a Swamiji candidate, with long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and gold necklaces, so the identification is probable.
