A photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his bare shoulder, gesturing with his right hand raised while smiling. Beside him stands a gilded metal deity murti with a tall crown, wearing a red garment, a jewelled necklace and raised hands holding lotus stems. The setting is dim with a dark maroon backdrop. The man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a probable Swamiji cue, so the candidate is in person, though his appearance is only partly clear.
