A photograph of a smiling man with a long black beard, a red-brown turban with silver and jewelled ornaments, and a red tilak on his forehead, seated on an ornate white-and-silver throne with a silver umbrella overhead. He wears a brown robe, pink rose garlands, and heavy gold necklaces and armbands, and gestures with one hand while speaking into a microphone. Behind him is a gold-framed backdrop with a mountain and temple-tower scene, and a small deity murti decorated with flowers sits to the side on a multicoloured woven mat. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of distinctive turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha-style adornment match the page's claim of Swamiji speaking at this event, so he is labelled in person.
