A smiling bearded man in a rust-orange robe and orange turban decorated with a crescent and white ornaments sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-carved armrests and leopard-print cushions. He wears a garland of yellow marigolds and white flowers, rudraksha mala beads, bangles and a gold necklace, and raises both palms in greeting or blessing before a microphone stand. A silver staff and silver ritual vessels stand beside him against a tapestry of orange, yellow and gold. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears rudraksha malas, a crown-like turban and ornate gold necklace, consistent with the page's claim.
