A photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold throne-like chair with carved floral filigree, his long dark hair swept back. He wears a blue draped cloth with a silver border over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala of dark beads, and white and red forehead markings. A plastic water bottle is in the foreground at lower left, and a red banner with gold lettering is visible at upper right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a draped blue wrap, matching the page's reference to the event. His gaze is turned to the side as he speaks to an unseen audience.
