A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair and a white turban, wearing a leopard-print shawl over a gold ornamental necklace. He sits on a white cushion in front of a large arrangement of yellow, red and white flower garlands and green leaves. Beside him a bald man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands, and a man in white with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala holds a brass tray of fruit. Orange and red cloths lie on the platform. Several people in white stand and sit in the background. The setting appears to be a festival dais with a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam-style presentation. Appearance cues (long swept hair, white turban, gold necklace, shawl) match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person candidate.
