A man seated on a gilded, scalloped throne with red cushions, wearing a rust-brown robe, multiple gold necklaces and a large gold pendant, holds a silver chain over the head of a kneeling devotee with long dreadlocks. A microphone stands at right and a white desk fan is behind them. Behind, several men in orange and saffron robes and rudraksha malas stand watching, and white and pink flower petals scatter the seat. Probable Swamiji in this photograph: the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a rust-brown robe, cues consistent with the page's claim.
