A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red upholstered back, decorated with a garland of white, yellow and red flowers draped over the top. He wears a white shawl over white clothing, a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with large ornamental beads and a pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. In the lower left, a blurred person's head and shoulder are partially visible in the foreground. Appearance cues (long hair, ornate gold necklace, white shawl, flower-decorated throne) are consistent with the Swamiji candidate, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable).
