A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits in an orange armchair on a stage, holding an open blue book and white papers, with a rudraksha mala around the neck. Beside and around the chair, men in white dhotis and shirts, and one man in a striped shirt and grey trousers, sit in red-cushioned chairs. Saffron-clad attendants sit behind. A large brass lamp with a flower garland stands at left, and a standing fan is in front. Behind the stage hangs a banner with a large portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and red Kannada lettering. The portrait is printed, not a physical person. The seated figure has distinctive orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha cues matching the page's Swamiji claim, so the appearance supports a probable identification.
