A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilt scrollwork smiles and holds his palms together in namaste, while a golden trident (trishul) rests in his hand. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a yellow border and a long rudraksha mala with multiple strands across his chest, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him a cameraman in a white shirt and yellow shawl operates a video camera on a tripod beside white curtains and a peach-coloured wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a ceremonial gold-and-red throne, rudraksha malas and a gold trident, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
