He wears a rust-orange turban with a crescent and jewelled ornament, a thick pink lotus garland, heavy gold necklaces, a gold armlet and bracelet, and rust-orange cloth, with long dark braids over one shoulder. Swamiji (probable): the candidate's appearance shows a rust-orange turban, ornate gold necklaces, a pink lotus garland and long dark hair, consistent with the page's reference to a Pratyaksha Pada Puja event. A red backdrop and draped curtain frame the scene.
