A photograph of a seated man on a cream-upholstered throne with dark carved wooden arms and back, eyes closed, hands clasped in his lap, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a multicoloured pink, yellow and orange turban with a red tilak, an orange-red kurta with white embroidery, a white-and-gold ceremonial necklace and a white shawl over one shoulder. Behind him hang red, orange and white striped woven panels, with green foam letters reading 2012! above. Flower arrangements in vases sit on either side, and a water bottle is at the left edge. The turban, saffron-orange clothing and long hair are appearance cues consistent with the page's identification of the speaker as Swamiji (probable), seated as a discourse speaker.
