A photograph of a seated man in a deep red turban with a small white jewelled brooch and gold border, a red and orange shawl over a blue and gold garment, multiple gold necklaces, a gold armlet and a red forehead mark. He sits smiling toward the left beside an ornate golden palanquin-style structure with gold tassels and a golden pole, flower garlands in pink, red and white, and a small orange-framed tablet on a gold-and-orange table. A red basket of fruit sits at lower right and a potted pink flower arrangement stands behind him. The appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji candidate, showing long dark hair, a jewelled turban, saffron-toned ornate clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces, so the identity is probable from appearance only.
