A photo of a man seated cross-legged on a gold-upholstered throne before an ornate gilded backrest with floral and figural repoussé carving. He has long dark hair swept back, a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, and wears a white sleeveless garment draped over one shoulder. He has layered rudraksha malas, a red coral necklace and a gold pendant, plus rudraksha bracelets and gold armlets. A microphone on a stand is in front of him. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments fit the cues for the discourse presenter named on the page, and he is seated on the throne as the speaker. The gilded panel below shows engraved lettering.
