A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne with red velvet cushions, beneath a silver canopy hung with leaf-shaped pendants. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a silver brooch, an orange-brown robe, a long gold necklace and a thick pink-and-white flower garland, and gold bangles on his wrist. He smiles and gestures with one hand while a microphone stand is positioned beside him. Behind him is a painted backdrop of a green hill under a pale sky, with a red-and-gold canopy and floral garlands to the right. Because the page names this event and the figure's cues (turban, gold necklace, ornate attire) are distinctive, this is a Swamiji (probable) seated in person as the speaker.
