A photograph of a man seated on an ornate red-cushioned throne-style chair against a deep red stage backdrop. He wears a red-orange turban with a small red tilak on the forehead, a red-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, and multiple strands of rudraksha beads, with rudraksha bracelets on his wrists and upper arm. His right hand is raised in a blessing gesture, and a tall silver staff stands at the left edge of the frame. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, red-orange turban, red-orange clothing and multiple rudraksha malas match the page's identification of the speaker, so the candidate is in person on stage.
