A man with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate silver throne upholstered in red velvet, in an indoor hall. He wears a saffron-orange wrap, a heavy gold necklace of large beads, a gold arm band with red threads, and a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead. He holds a long silver staff with a small ornament at its top. Two white pedestal fans stand in front, and devotees in white and orange clothing sit behind him. Swamiji (probable): the saffron wrap, long hair, gold ornamentation and ceremonial throne match the presentation of the event's guru.
