Photograph of a smiling man in ochre-orange sannyasi dress with gold-bordered dhoti and upper cloth, a rudraksha mala with gold ornament hanging on his chest, and a white vertical tilak on his forehead. He stands barefoot on a red runner between silver stanchions, reading a sheet of paper while a man in a striped shirt and glasses at left offers him a small cream-coloured card packet. Behind them a backdrop of painted trees and a red temple arch, with a man in white dhoti and a camera operator in the background. The candidate's identity cannot be established from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.
