Close-up photograph of a man with swept-back dark hair wearing an orange shawl draped over orange clothing and a rudraksha mala with dark brown beads. A red kumkum mark sits on his forehead. Behind him is an ornate gold throne-like backrest with carved scrollwork and a stone carving at left. Swamiji (probable): the orange shawl, rudraksha mala and swept-back hair match the cues for the Paramashivam candidate, seated on a golden throne.
