A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and scrollwork backrest and a silver lion-head armrest, draped in a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-orange turban with a crescent ornament and jewelled brooch, a saffron-orange robe, multiple tiers of rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and rudraksha armbands, and a microphone stands before him. Strings of white fairy lights and a red curtain frame the stage. Swamiji (probable): the distinctive orange turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace on a figure seated on a throne are consistent with the page's claim that he was present at this event.
