Photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrolled backrest and gilded lion-head armrests, speaking into a gooseneck microphone. He wears a grey-white turban, a red bindi, a purple and pink embroidered kurta and a heavy gold necklace, with a garland of white flowers with purple and red accents. Both palms are raised toward the audience in a blessing gesture while he smiles. Dark blue drapery forms the background. Swamiji (probable): the candidate shows a grey turban, a long swept-back hairstyle, ornate embroidered clothing and a gold ceremonial necklace with a garland, seated on a throne, consistent with the page's identification of the event as a discourse.
