A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jeweled ornament and feather, an orange shawl over orange garments, a long gold necklace of beads and a gold pendant, gold earrings, and red and gold armbands. A red vertical tilak marks his forehead. Both hands rest on his knees. A small framed photograph sits on a silver side table at lower left, and red drapes frame the background. Appearance-based: Swamiji (probable), seated in person, with distinctive turban, saffron shawl, ornate gold necklace and throne cues; the page reports his presence at this event.
