A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet cushion, smiling with eyes lowered. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders, with long dark hair falling behind him, and a small microphone clipped near his mouth. Silver swan-shaped armrests flank the throne, and a red-and-gold book lies on a cloth at his side. Behind him a large screen shows an audience, and seated devotees in the foreground and background watch from a hall with white draped walls. Identity is appearance-based only.
