A man seated on an ornate gold throne carved with lions, with a red velvet cushion and a silver-handled staff resting beside him. He wears a cream turban with a small red mark at the centre, an orange and gold-bordered shawl over an orange garment, and a long rudraksha mala and ceremonial beaded necklaces. He has his hands clasped in his lap and looks off to the side while speaking into a small headset microphone. Red curtains hang behind him, and a painted deity panel appears at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, saffron-orange ornate clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
