A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate white and red throne with carved armrests, wearing a rust-orange robe and a shawl draped over his shoulders. He wears a white and red flower garland with rudraksha mala beads around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a small object while seated. Behind him stands a golden deity murti in a gilded alcove, with a golden trident staff at left, green draped cloth, potted green plants and a small table with a candle at right. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha mala and garland matches the page's Swamiji reference, a probable in-person candidate on a throne with ceremonial decor.
