Close-up portrait photo of a smiling bearded man with a tall black turban of wrapped hair and a rudraksha mala draped at the neck. He wears a white horizontal tilak with a dark vertical mark on the forehead, a gold chain with a pendant, and an orange-red cloth over the shoulder. Behind him is ornate gold carved metalwork with cut-out lattice panels. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha malas, gold necklace and saffron-orange cloth are the qualifying cues for the in-person candidate.
