A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a white forehead mark stands against a black backdrop, smiling, holding a tall golden trident in his left hand while his right hand rests on his hip. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style lower garment, a belt of small bells or cowrie-like ornaments at the waist, and a white beaded necklace. His right foot rests on a stacked golden or bronze pedestal. A cord runs diagonally across his chest. Candidate appearance cues include long hair, ornate ceremonial adornments and orange-toned clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a staged devotional pose.
