A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a large gold repoussé back and red cushions smiles while holding a golden trident-tipped staff across his lap. He wears saffron-orange robes with a red border, several rudraksha mala strands around his neck, a gold bracelet on his upper arm and a red tilak on his forehead. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, with gold-carved side tables on either side and red beaded hangings behind the throne. The cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial throne are present, matching the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification of the Swamiji seated on the throne.
