Close-up photo of a smiling man in a rust-orange turban with a red bindi on his forehead, wearing a red-orange garment and a layered set of gold ceremonial necklaces with large gold beads and a pendant, plus a thick garland of red and pink flower beads across his chest. He is set against a backdrop of densely arranged roses, marigolds and orchids in white, purple, yellow and red. A person's hand and shoulder are visible at the right edge. The candidate's appearance is consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji (probable), based on the orange turban, gold ceremonial necklaces and garland cues.
