A seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes and a long gold bead necklace sits on an orange cushioned throne on an orange-draped platform, feet resting on a low wooden footstool decorated with yellow marigold garlands and a folded maroon-and-gold cloth. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders, and a red tilak marks his forehead. To his right, a man in white dhoti and an orange shawl holds a silver tray of yellow flower petals. Behind them, an orange wall bears a Kannada banner reading Guru Purnima 2010 with a framed portrait of a smiling white-turbaned man. Several other people in white and yellow clothes stand in the background, and strings of lights and green garlands decorate the wall above. The man on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robes, consistent with the page's mention of Swamiji, so the appearance is a probable match.
