A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes with a long, swept-back hairstyle and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing a long rudraksha mala that hangs to his waist. He sits cross-legged on a white stone platform in an outdoor temple grounds setting. Behind him is a large white stone structure draped with yellow and magenta flower garlands, and a dark stone sculpture stands in the background among green palms. Dirt ground and grass lie in the foreground. A blurred figure occupies the lower right corner. The Swamiji candidate is shown with saffron robes, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, so the identification is probable.
