A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a large gold repoussé backrest, speaking into a black microphone with eyes closed and a slight smile. He wears a dark red turban with a jewelled ornament, rust-coloured draped cloth over bare shoulders, a rust-brown rudraksha-style beaded mala and a heavy ceremonial gold necklace of large beads. Gold armlets sit on each upper arm, and a silver trident stands to his left against a leopard-print cushion. The visible man has a long dark beard and a red tilak on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): long beard, red turban with jewelled crest, saffron-red robes, rudraksha mala and gold beads, seated on a throne in discourse, matching the page's note of Swamiji at this event.
