Outdoor photo beneath palm fronds and a strand of saffron and orange triangular pennants marked with Om symbols. In the centre, a smiling, laughing man with long dark wavy hair wears a saffron/orange wrap, a red-brown rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, with his hands clasped at his waist. To the left, an older bald man in an orange robe faces him, and to the right a bearded man with long grey-streaked hair in an orange shawl over white clothing looks on. Behind them stand a man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border, and another person in orange. The probable Swamiji candidate is the central figure, identified by his long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala.
