A man with long dark braided hair and a rust-orange turban sits astride a golden bull statue, raising his right hand in a gesture while a tall gold trident rises beside him. He wears a leopard-print cloth, an orange-brown draped garment, a gold necklace and beaded bracelets, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. Behind him a large seated audience fills a bright hall, with two cameras on tripods at the left and a red banner reading Sadhyanam at the back. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a turban, ornate adornments and ceremonial clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
