A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, in a temple-style hall. He wears an orange-brown turban, an orange-brown robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and a pink-and-white flower garland. He raises a white ceremonial staff in his right hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him stands a decorated deity murti with a golden crown, flanked by two smaller figures, all framed by red, yellow and pink flower garlands. A red-and-gold canopy hangs to the left beside brass oil lamps and a stone pillar with carved figures. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker has a turban, orange robes, rudraksha mala and gold ornamentation, consistent with the page's attribution.
