A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, beside a golden naga-headed armrest and a microphone stand, in front of a deep red drape. He wears a rust-orange turban with a red tilak on his forehead, an orange-red shawl over one shoulder, heavy gold beaded necklaces, red beaded armlets and bracelets, and long dark hair falling down his back. His hands are clasped in his lap and he smiles while looking off to the side. The image is a discourse setting with one person visible. The appearance matches the Swamiji candidate cues of long hair, orange ornate clothing and gold necklaces, so this is a probable identification of the Swamiji candidate present in person.
