A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, orange robe draped over the shoulders, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces and armlets, smiling broadly. Beside him sits a bald, bespectacled man in a rudraksha mala and reddish-brown robe with a gold necklace, also smiling. A third person's hand reaches into the frame at lower left, and behind them several people in orange and white robes stand on a green mat, with a garland of yellow marigolds hanging at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the orange turban and gold ornaments is the candidate, matched by his turban, ornate gold jewellery and saffron clothing.
