A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back and cushion, carved with floral scrollwork and finials, with carved gold lion heads at the base. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap with a gold border and a long multi-strand gold bead necklace, and has a white forehead mark. His hands rest folded in his lap. A microphone on a stand sits near him and a water bottle and other equipment are on a table at right. The setting is a discourse hall with a dark red wall behind. The figure has long swept-back hair, a saffron wrap, ceremonial gold necklace and throne, which are cues consistent with the page's Swamiji description, so this is a probable appearance-based identification of the in-person speaker.
