Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated before an ornate gilded throne with floral carved scrollwork. He wears a rust-brown turban decorated with a peacock-feather plume, a paisley jewelled brooch, strands of white pearls and a red stone ornament. A dark bindi marks his forehead. He wears pearl drop earrings, layered gold necklaces, a pearl necklace with a gold pendant and rudraksha beads, and holds a silver ceremonial staff in one raised hand. Presentation cues include the ornate turban, gold jewellery and rudraksha, consistent with the probable Swamiji candidate named on the page.
