A man seated before a floral backdrop of marigolds, roses and other flowers in red, yellow, white, purple and pink, with a gold ornamental frame behind him. He wears a red turban, a red shawl draped over his bare shoulders, a red dhoti-style garment with a blue-edged border, and a heavy gold necklace of large beads. A small red bindi sits on his forehead. He has long dark hair and gazes calmly toward the camera. A gilded decorative object is partly visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the red turban, red shawl and ornate gold necklace are the cues for this candidate, shown in a seated ceremonial setting before a garlanded throne-like backdrop.
