Close-up photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a rust-brown and gold turban with a red bindi on the forehead, a rust-orange robe with gold edging, multiple rudraksha malas, heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with a pendant, gold earrings and a gold ring. He wears a pink and white flower garland and has a small headset microphone clipped near his ear, and his hand rests on his lap. Swamiji (probable): the turban, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha malas and gold necklaces match the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, though identity is inferred from appearance only.
