At the centre, a smiling figure with long dark hair and white tilak on the forehead wears a large garland of white flowers, red roses and green leaves, with a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and raises a hand in greeting. Robed attendants flank him, one holding a metal tray of flowers. Green foliage and banana leaves fill the background, and a white-and-red banner stands behind.

A smiling man in saffron-red robes sits in a large brown leather throne-style chair at an indoor event. He wears a rudraksha mala, a long gold-and-yellow flower garland, a gold pendant and a headset microphone, with red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Behind him, women in white and red-shawled clothing and a few seated attendees look on, and a gold ceremonial staff stands beside the chair. The setting appears to be a hall with a red water bottle on a side table. Based on appearance cues (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron robe, ceremonial gold garland) this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated as presenter in a programme session.
