Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate carved wooden throne with a white cushioned backrest, framed by a carved lion armrest and a floral garland draped over the top. The central figure wears a saffron-orange turban, an orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a multicoloured flower garland with tassels, and smiles with palms pressed together in greeting. Two men in white ritual clothes stand at left with hands folded in namaskar, and another kneels at right in white with a red sash. Several other men with beards and dark hair stand behind the throne. On the red cloth below sit a pair of carved wooden padukas on a white cloth, scattered flower petals, a brass bell, and a brass plate with offerings. A portrait is visible on the wall behind the throne. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron with a turban, rudraksha mala and garlands.
