A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair sits eyes-lowered on an ornate gilded throne decorated with a carved lion head and garlands of marigolds and red flowers. He wears a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, with hands resting in his lap on red-and-orange striped cushions. A vase of gladiolus and orange flowers stands to the right against a dark curtain. The appearance matches the Swamiji candidate cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, and the page names him, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) in this photo.
