A close photograph of a man in an orange-red saffron robe and a tall black dreadlocked turban decorated with rudraksha beads, holding a gold ceremonial object with both hands to his forehead. He wears a thick gold chain and a gold ring and a red thread bracelet, and has a white horizontal mark on his forehead. Ornate silver-toned columns and a deep red curtain frame the scene. The gold object resembles a ritual vessel or kalasha-like stand. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), shown in person, with the turban, rudraksha, saffron robe and gold necklace as the distinguishing cues.
