A smiling man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a large gold filigree backrest, wearing a maroon turban with a gold brooch and white feather, a gold bead mala and a white-and-gold beaded necklace. He raises both palms outward in blessing. Blurred oil lamps with glowing flames stand in the foreground, and a hand offers something to the right. A red banner behind him reads Invit... Awak... and Bidwa... in partial letters. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, turban, gold necklaces and ornate throne support this label, so this is the speaker in person seated on a throne.
