Low-key photograph against a black background of a bearded man in profile, smiling, with long dark hair gathered high and a small golden trident-like ornament with a red cord fixed on top. He wears large rudraksha-style beaded necklaces over bare shoulders, a gold pendant, a beaded armband and a small hoop earring. Warm reddish light falls on his face and chest. Swamiji (probable) candidate by appearance cues: long hair, distinctive adornments and rudraksha necklaces, shown here as a live person on stage.
