A man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved lion armrests and a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-orange robe, a matching orange turban with white flower ornaments, rudraksha malas and a green-yellow marigold garland. He smiles and raises both palms in a blessing gesture while speaking into a microphone. Behind him is a large silver repoussé backdrop with floral and scroll motifs, flanked by yellow marigold garlands and a gold-and-orange embroidered drape. A silver staff rests beside the throne and a silver kalasha-style vessel sits on a side table. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, ornate turban, rudraksha malas and gold necklace match the page's description of the event.
