A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-framed red velvet throne, wearing a rust-orange draped cloth, a gold chain, and a tall sculpted black hair crown with a rudraksha band; a white tilak is painted on his forehead. Beside him stand silver-topped ceremonial staffs with a trident finial and flower garlands. Behind him, a robed figure in saffron with a rudraksha mala sits, and several devotees in white and cream sit on the floor in a hall. Probable Swamiji cues: the crown of long hair, rudraksha adornment and saffron-orange clothing mark him as a candidate, and the page states he is present, so he is recorded as a probable in-person candidate.
