A smiling bearded man in a rust-orange turban with a jewelled brooch sits on a red velvet seat before an ornate gold carved backdrop and a red curtain, speaking into a black microphone. He wears a rust-orange silk dhoti and wrap, a white and red flower garland, a long brown rudraksha mala with a large gold bead necklace and gold pendant, and orange rudraksha armlets and bracelets. A brass oil lamp stands behind him. A white mug printed with a turbaned portrait sits on a wooden table in the foreground. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated and speaking as the central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, turban, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing and rudraksha malas.
