A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate silver throne carved with lions, scrolls and floral motifs, its seat cushioned in leopard print with red side cushions. He wears a rust-orange shawl and dhoti, a long gold bead necklace and a smaller gold pendant, and has a red forehead mark, smiling while his hands rest together on his lap. Behind him hangs a deep red curtain. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate: long hair, ornate gold necklace and orange ceremonial clothing, seated on a throne in what appears to be a stage setting.
