A bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne with carved lion figures at its base and leopard-print cushions on the armrests, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange robe draped over bare shoulders, and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and rudraksha armlets. A small red tilak marks his forehead. He rests his hands on the leopard-print armrests and smiles. The throne has elaborate silver embossed scrollwork behind him, typical of a darbar seating. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair under the turban, saffron-orange ornate clothing and rudraksha malas match the page's identification as the Navaratri darbar event.
