A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne in an open-air temple pavilion. He wears orange saffron robes, a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders, and a long rudraksha mala, with bare feet resting on a gold footstool decorated with flowers. He is speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him stands a shrine with a large deity murti dressed in red, adorned with yellow and orange garlands, a trident, and a kalasha-like brass lamp on the altar. Red and white striped drapes and a stone carved pillar frame the scene, with trees visible beyond. The appearance-based candidate fits the presiding figure's saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala, so this is probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a discourse setting.
