A cameraman in the left foreground films a seated man in saffron robes on an orange-covered throne-like chair in front of a shrine. The seated man wears a long orange garment and a beaded orange mala, with long hair swept back, and his hands rest on his knees. Behind him stands a golden deity murti decorated with yellow and red garlands, with a trident visible and a gilded arch behind. A standing attendant in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl stands at the right beside a green banana plant and an orange curtain. Marigold garlands and flowers lie at the base of the seat. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha-style mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, a claim whose appearance cues are sufficiently distinct for this label.
