A man seated on an ornate red-cushioned throne in front of a large gold-leaf backrest bordered with red, yellow, white and green flower garlands, speaking into a handheld microphone and smiling. He wears a leopard-print sleeveless garment, a thick gold necklace, a long red-and-white flower garland, gold armlets, a saffron-orange wrap, white forehead markings and a red dot, and long swept-back hair. He holds a silver trident with his other hand. A water bottle sits on a small pink table at left, and a partially visible woman in orange is at the far left edge. The description's appearance cues (long hair, saffron wrap, ornate gold and garlands, trident) match the page's claim that this is Swamiji, so this is a probable identification from appearance.
