A seated man in orange saffron robes speaks on a gilded, ornately carved golden throne with a red velvet back. He wears a heavy ornate gold necklace of bead-like pendants, has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, and gestures with his raised right hand while his left hand rests in his lap. A microphone stand, water bottles and a vase of white, green, red and orange flowers sit to his right against a dark curtain. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklace on a golden throne, fitting the page's identification, so this is recorded as an in-person candidate. Appearance cues are sufficient, but the photo is a single clear frontal-profile view of one person.
