A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped side supports and a red velvet cushion, in front of deep red velvet drapes. He wears an orange turban and orange saffron robes, a red-beaded rudraksha mala, bangles on his arms, and holds his palms together in namaste. A ceremonial mace-like staff rests beside the throne. Two tall brass lamps with rooster-finial tops stand on either side of the throne, and a vintage-style carpet covers the floor. Appearance-based candidate only: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne as the central figure, identified by his orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha mala.
