Close photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back black hair, a white horizontal tilak across the forehead and a red bindi, eyes lowered. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over an orange garment and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace of rounded beads, with a white flower garland at his right shoulder. Background is an indoor wall with a pale door frame. Cues for the appearance-based candidate are long hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, so this is a probable match for Swamiji in person.
