A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits in front of an ornate gold throne with carved floral and figural relief. He wears an orange sleeveless top draped with an orange and pink checked shawl, and holds a silver trident adorned with yellow flower garlands in his right hand. A silver vessel filled with grains or rice sits at lower left, and a few white and red flowers decorate the upper area. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and the throne setting are the cues for this candidate. Setting appears to be a temple or ceremonial hall during a Guru Poornima celebration.
