A photograph of a satsang stage with a red draped platform and gold-carved pillars at each side. A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion wears a saffron-orange turban, saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, and multiple rudraksha malas with a gold necklace. A painted backdrop shows a green deity figure with a crown and radiant halo above the throne, a trident standing to the right, a red bull with large curved horns on the right, and a small robed figure with a shaved head beside a tree on the left. Brass oil lamps and potted plants flank the throne. The seated figure is the appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable): saffron turban, rudraksha malas and ornate gold setting.
