A smiling man with long dark hair and a short beard sits before an ornate gold-leaf backdrop with repoussé scrollwork. He wears a rust-red robe and an orange shawl printed with dark script, which he holds with both hands. A white and red forehead marking is visible, a red thread is tied on his wrist, and a copper vessel sits beside him on a leopard-print cushion. The appearance matches the presentation of the Swamiji candidate with several cues: long hair, saffron-orange shawl and seated throne, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
