A photograph of a seated man in a silver ornate chair beside a fire, with smoke rising in the background. He wears a maroon-red sannyasi-style wrap and dhoti, multiple strands of rudraksha malas, rudraksha armbands and wrist bands, a silver cobra pendant and a gold necklace, a leopard-print turban with a white flower, and a red tilak on his forehead. He rests one hand on the silver armrest and the other on his lap, with a small microphone clipped near his face. A silver ritual vessel sits on a table at left. The page identifies this as Swamiji; the appearance matches the candidate's long dreadlocks, leopard-print turban, rudraksha malas and saffron-red ceremonial clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person during the Aushada preparation.
