A man with long swept-back dark hair stands outdoors among palm trees, wearing an orange saffron wrap with gold-bordered edges and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck. A small red tilak marks his forehead. He holds an orange rope with one hand and looks downward. A bald man in saffron clothing sits in the lower right corner, looking toward him. Yellow flower garlands hang at the left edge, and a carved stone base is visible at the bottom left. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala match the Swamiji candidate, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the person in orange holding the rope.
