A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate gold throne with a curved, richly carved back decorated with white jasmine garlands. He wears an orange-ochre cloth draped over his bare shoulders, multiple strands of beaded brown mala necklaces, a silver collar, a gold pendant, and a small red bindi on his forehead. He raises his right hand in a gesture of speech while seated on red and black cushions. Swamiji (probable) is the candidate, based on long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style malas, ornate gold necklace and orange clothing. Pink flowers appear at the upper right corner.
