A bearded man in a saffron-red turban with a yellow feather, crescent moon and jewelled ornaments sits cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation on a red velvet throne with silver armrests. He wears a rust-orange robe, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a gold waist belt and gold armbands. A silver staff stands at left, and a copper bottle, a steel tumbler and a small framed portrait sit on a side table. The gold-patterned backdrop behind him is ornate. The image appears to be a photo from a discourse setting; the figure's appearance is consistent with the Swamiji candidate, with several cues including turban, saffron ornate clothing and gold necklaces, so the identification is probable rather than confirmed.
