A photograph of a bearded man with long, swept-back dark hair seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, holding a black microphone in his right hand and gesturing with his left, smiling while speaking to an audience. He wears a saffron/orange shawl wrapped over his body and a red thread on his wrist. Behind him stand golden trishula (trident) staffs and a large backdrop showing a seated deity murti in orange and gold. The seated audience in dark clothing fills the foreground, and several people in the background raise their hands. A wooden staff rests against the throne's side. The appearance matches the saffron clothing, long hair and throne cues associated with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person appearance.2016-12-19A bearded man in an orange-saffron shawl and dhoti sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned silver ornate throne, holding a microphone and smiling, with a striped woven mat spread before the seat.
