A photograph of a bare-chested man seated with his palms joined in anjali mudra, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a tall black turban-like headwrap, a red kumkum mark on his forehead, a pink lotus garland and a rudraksha mala on his arms and chest, with a red cloth draped over his shoulder and a tiger-striped cloth at his waist. Behind him stand black stone deity murti and yellow-and-red flower garlands, and a silver ornate throne chair sits to his right. The setting suggests a temple ritual. The man's appearance with the turban, rudraksha malas and ornaments matches the probable Swamiji description on this page, so he is treated as a probable in-person candidate.
