A photograph of a bearded man seated on a red-cushioned throne-like seat in a large hall, facing forward with hands pressed together at chest level. He wears a red-and-maroon turban with a jewelled ornament, a bare upper torso with a red shawl over the shoulder, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and red beaded bracelets. Long dark braids hang behind him. Beside him stands a tall golden trident, and a brass bull figure (Nandi) with a red cloth is at the left edge. A seated audience in orange, white and saffron clothing fills the background, with a white draped backdrop behind the stage. The man's appearance (long hair, turban, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and ornaments) is a probable Swamiji candidate, seated in the role of a speaker at a satsang, with a trident and Nandi present.
