A photograph of a smiling man seated on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold-embossed back panel. He has long dark hair, a full beard, white and red tilak marks on his forehead, and gold earrings. He wears a rust-brown shawl over his shoulders, a dark rudraksha mala, multiple gold ceremonial necklaces, a gold armlet, and a garland of white flowers with red beads. A gold trident-like ceremonial staff stands at the left edge. The face and presentation match the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold adornments, rudraksha and a saffron-toned shawl, seated in a throne setting, so this is recorded as an in-person candidate. Only one physical person is visible.
