A smiling bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and white-and-red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver throne with red cushions, wearing a rust-brown robe, gold beaded necklaces, a rudraksha mala and a pink-and-white flower garland. He holds a book with a photo cover and Tamil title. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti with a crown, and a brass lamp stands at right against an orange lattice backdrop with green foliage. A microphone is at the top right. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned robes match the page's stated Swamiji presence, and he is physically present on the throne.
