A photograph of a seated man on a large peach-upholstered throne with black carved wooden arms and back. He wears an orange saffron shawl with gold border over a bare shoulder, orange lower garment, and a long gold ceremonial necklace of beads. Long swept-back dark hair and a small red bindi on the forehead. His hands rest together in his lap and he gazes to the side, smiling. A microphone on a stand is at right; behind him are garlands in purple, yellow and green and a gilded frame with a portrait. Physical candidate matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style gold beads and a throne seat.
