Photograph of a stage with a large printed backdrop of a temple gopuram and a deity murti garlanded with orange and yellow flowers. A single person in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands with hands folded in namaskar before an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha). A vase of orange flowers sits on a white pedestal to the left, a small deity figure on a stand and a microphone are near the throne, and an orange cloth draped over a white stand sits at the right edge. The figure's face and identity are not established by appearance alone, so the person is described by role only.

The throne has a carved gold frame and red cushions, set on a white pedestal with a small gold footstool before it. A dark blue draped curtain fills the background and a red rug lies on the floor. Offerings and flowers sit at the base of the throne. The figure's long hair is swept back, and the orange robe with a rudraksha-style setting suggests a sannyasi. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and saffron/orange robes match the page caption, so this is an appearance-based candidate seated in a speaking or ritual setting.2010-09-05May 17 20112011-05-17September 12 20102010-09-12September 12 20102010-09-12A seated man in white ritual dress sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat and a large gold arched backrest.
