A seated man in a deep red turban with a gold-edged fan and a red vermilion mark on his forehead sits on a red velvet throne. He wears a lime-green silk garment with a red and gold woven border, layered silver beaded necklaces and matching silver armlets. A small headset microphone is clipped near his face as he smiles and looks off to the side. Behind him is a backdrop of dense garlands of marigolds, orchids and other flowers in yellow, purple, pink, white and red, with a gold ornamental panel above. A silver staff with a decorative finial stands at the left edge. Watermarked copyright text appears in the lower right corner. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair under the turban, a rudraksha-style silver bead necklace and ceremonial clothing, consistent with the page's reference to this event.
