A bearded man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-draped seat atop a large golden bull statue (nandi) within a temple-like hall. He wears a long pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold pendant necklace, gold bangles and a shawl across his bare upper body, and smiles toward the camera. Behind him a golden deity murti of a multi-armed goddess stands within a golden wheel-shaped halo, with a red drape and a thatched roof above. Golden trident (trishul) stands at left, brass oil lamps flank the scene, potted green plants surround the seat, and red fruits sit in a bowl at lower left. The pictured man matches the Swamiji appearance cues: swept-back long hair, ornate gold necklace, garland and saffron-toned clothing, so the candidate is labelled probable and marked in person.
