A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deep maroon velvet back and seat, carved lion-head armrests and a crown finial. He wears an orange-saffron cloth with a gold border draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead. A small clip-on microphone is attached near his face, and a pink paper rests on his lap. A black tablet on a wooden stand sits at the left edge, with stainless steel crowd barriers around the hall and recessed ceiling lights overhead. The man is seated on a throne in a hall with barriers, and his appearance matches the page's Swamiji claim with several cues: saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and a crown-topped throne.
