A photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold-leaf throne with carved lion-like finials and an arched backrest. He wears a saffron-orange silk garment with a red and gold border draped over one shoulder, long swept-back hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and upper arms. He holds a small orange-cased tablet or device in his lap and looks off to his left with a slight smile. Oil lamps are visible at the edges of the frame against a dark blue backdrop. Matching swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and the gold-throne setting are consistent with the Swamiji candidate; the image is an appearance-based probable identification only.
