A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange draped garment with a red braided headpiece and long dark dreadlocks, smiling as he places his hand on the head of a man in white clothes and rudraksha beads. The seated figure sits beside an ornately carved silver-white throne with a leopard-print cushion. Another person in white stands behind, and a woman in white is visible at the back. The man in white holds his palm up in greeting. The setting is an indoor hall with a ceiling and a framed picture on the right. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron-red clothing, and ceremonial adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) appearance-based candidate in person.
