A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe wearing a long garland of white, yellow, red and purple flowers, with a large gold bead necklace around his neck and a red dot on his forehead. He has long dark hair and looks down with a faint smile. Behind him, ornate gold and silver trident staffs stand upright, and a robed attendant in orange holds one. A man in white clothes stands to the left, and other people and a banner with a blue and red pattern are in the background of a hall. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style gold bead mala and garland mark a probable appearance-based candidate, shown in person in a ritual hall during a welcome procession.
