A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a large gold lotus-petal backrest, touching his forehead with his right hand as an attendant holds a silver tray. He wears a red-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a long rudraksha mala, multiple gold ceremonial necklaces, gold armbands and rings, and has a red tilak mark on his forehead. Two attendants sit at left, one bare-chested with a metal tray and a gold-trimmed object. A microphone stand is visible at right, and a gold statue or ornament sits near the throne base. Background shows a red-walled hall with metal railings. Appearance cues include long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and rudraksha mala on a throne, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification.
