A photograph of a long-haired man in profile seated before a garlanded backdrop. He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a thick rust-brown beaded rudraksha mala with a gold-toned clasp at the neck; a white horizontal forehead mark is visible. Behind him, garlands of yellow, red, green and white flowers hang over a deity murti in yellow and pink robes. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge. Appearance-based candidate present: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, orange shawl and rudraksha mala as qualifying cues, seated in a satsang setting with a hand extended toward him from the right.
