A photograph of a seated teacher on an ornate white and red velvet throne, wearing a rust-orange draped robe with a bare shoulder and multiple rudraksha mala strands with a gold pendant. He has long dark hair and a full beard, holds a slender metal stick in his raised hand, and gazes to the side while speaking. Beside him a man in glasses in an orange shawl sits with a silver bowl and a keyboard in front. Behind them a seated audience in white clothes and orange shawls fills the hall. Appearance suggests Swamiji (probable) given the long hair, rudraksha malas and orange robe on a throne, so this is an in-person candidate.
