Photograph of a smiling man with closed eyes, wearing a black turban, white vertical tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, a red-orange robe and a heavy gold chain, draped with a garland of red roses and yellow flowers over green leaves. In the foreground a bare-chested person in a white cloth and a second person with short dark hair receive blessings, and a silver ornamental backdrop with repoussé patterns stands behind. The man appears to be the Swamiji candidate, with turban, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha-style gold chain and garland as cues; appearance is probable but not certain.
