A man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate gold and red throne with lion-head armrests, on a red-draped stage. He wears an orange-saffron robe and raises one hand in a blessing gesture. Beside him stand a silver trident and a tall ceremonial staff. Seated devotees in orange shawls and white and saffron clothing fill the front rows, and a large screen shows a crowd at the right. The page identifies this as Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and throne are visible cues.
