A photo of a seated man in rust-orange robes on a tiger-skin-draped seat in a large hall, with a golden nandi bull statue to the left and a tall golden trident beside him. A man with a long beard wears a rust-orange turban, a gold-and-white beaded garland, layered gold necklaces and armlets, and holds a raised hand. Behind him a pale draped backdrop and a large crowd of seated devotees fill the frame, many in white, orange and saffron clothing, some wearing rudraksha malas. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with turban, gold garlands and ornate clothing matches the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
