A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and long dark swept-back hair speaks into a microphone on a stage, gesturing with his right hand. He wears a rudraksha mala, a red bindi and white markings on his arms, and sits on an ornate gold throne with a red seat, a floral garland of red, yellow, green and white flowers around its back, and a gold umbrella canopy above. A gold trident stands at the left, and a white-draped table sits to the right. Behind him a large printed banner shows a close-up of a smiling face with long hair. The description matches the page's claim that Swamiji is present, and the saffron robe, long hair, rudraksha and throne are compatible cues, so this is a probable identification.
