A photograph of a smiling man standing on a stage under purple-tinted lighting, holding a silver trident in his left hand and resting his right hand on his hip. He wears a red-orange draped garment over one shoulder, a long black-and-white beaded rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace, red beaded armbands and a red tilak on his forehead. A tiger-stripe patterned cloth is wrapped at his waist. A gold-toned ornate backdrop with green lighting stands behind him. The figure matches the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate: long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha malas, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) performing on stage. No physical audience is visible.
