A seated man with white vibhuti stripes and a red kumkum dot on his forehead sits with palms pressed together in a namaste gesture. He wears a rust-orange silk garment with gold zari borders and a long braided gold-toned mala around his neck. He sits on a red and black zebra-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold-embossed throne backrest, with a dark red curtain behind. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing and gold-toned mala, and the image is a photo credited to the archive, so he is identified as the Swamiji candidate in person. A pink towel rests on the right armrest.
