A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-striped seat cover, behind a microphone stand. He wears a rust-brown robe, a multi-strand gold necklace with a pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a thick red-and-white flower garland. Behind him is a floral arch of yellow marigolds, white jasmine, red roses and green leaves, with a gold deity murti above. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a garland on a throne, consistent with the page's reference to him at this event. Lion-shaped gold armrest finials flank the throne.
