A smiling man with dark hair and a short beard sits on an ornate gold and red throne in a temple hall. He wears a maroon-red dhoti and shawl, a gold pendant, rudraksha bracelets and a red tilak on his forehead. Layered garlands of green leaves, white-pink flowers and yellow beads hang from his neck, and a pair of bare feet rests on a plate of marigolds, roses and jasmine. A red bolster with a crescent moon ornament sits beside him, and a copper tray with papers is at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears long dark hair, rudraksha bracelets, gold ceremonial necklaces and saffron-red ceremonial robes, with cues matching the candidate.
