A photo of a discourse session on a stage with a warm red backdrop and a dark statue behind. A man in a maroon-and-brown turban with a small white flower ornament stands at right, wearing a long white flower garland, a red-brown shawl over a dark wrap, gold armbands and bead necklaces, and his right hand placed on his chest. Beside him a white whiteboard stands on gold stands, showing a four-quadrant chart of states of consciousness with labels for jagrat, turiya, swapna and sushupthi. At right is an ornate gold throne-like seat. Appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference (turban, garland, ornate clothing) and he is presented as the speaker, so the candidate is probable.
