A photograph of an ornate stage with a large silver-and-gold decorated throne backdrop framed by a multicoloured embellished arch and string fairy lights. A seated man in an orange-brown robe and matching turban wears a rudraksha mala and a garland of yellow and white flowers, leaning forward with his hand near a small table holding a cup. Beside him, a woman with long dark hair in a bun wears a rust-coloured garment and bangles and sits on a silver chair. A microphone stand stands at the right edge. The seated man has distinctive long-hair-free appearance but his turban, saffron robe, rudraksha and flower garland are visible cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne.
