A photo of a smiling bare-chested man standing against a plain beige cloth backdrop. He wears a maroon turban with jewelled ornament, a rudraksha-beaded sash across his chest, an ornate gold necklace, beaded maroon-brown dhoti-style trousers with a jewelled waistband, and rudraksha bracelets. He holds a tall golden staff topped with a gold finial and red gemstone in his left hand, resting his right hand on his hip. Ornate gold earrings hang from his ears. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) is present, shown with the turban, rudraksha sash and ceremonial gold necklace cues; this is a posed portrait, and no caption is visible.
