A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning, in front of a deep red curtain and a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with a gold crescent ornament, a feather plume and jewelled gold brooches, a red-brown robe, a long garland of pink and white flowers, a gold necklace, rudraksha beads and an orange-beaded armlet. A bindi-style mark is on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair visible beneath the turban, a crown-like turban and ornate ceremonial clothing, cues matching the page's claim that Swamiji is present. He sits looking to the side with a slight smile, apparently addressing a gathering.
