A photograph of a smiling bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne-like chair before a golden deity murti backdrop with a crowned figure and a companion figure, oil lamps and green foliage nearby. He wears a rust-brown robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, rudraksha bracelets and mala necklaces with gold beads, and a white forehead marking with a red dot. He holds an open book with a portrait cover and a microphone stands at his side. Appearance cues include long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha malas, so the candidate is described as a probable Swamiji seated in person.
