A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate wooden throne with carved elephant-head armrests and golden lion statues on pedestals at either side. He wears a long garland of white and magenta flowers, beaded bracelets and a red bindi, and raises both palms toward the audience in a blessing gesture. A curtain of warm fairy lights glows behind him, and petals are scattered on the carpet at his feet.

The throne has a gold arched backrest with carved wooden armrests and two golden lion sculptures flanking it on pedestals. The seated person wears an orange-saffron garment and a long multi-coloured flower garland, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace visible, and raises both hands in a blessing gesture. Pink and red flower arrangements stand on either side, and a lit multi-tiered oil lamp sits on a patterned mat in front of the throne. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.2012-12-12December 21 20122012-12-21December 12 20122012-12-12A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden-and-brown throne with carved golden lion-like finials and red floral arrangements at the base, against a dark stage backdrop. He wears a long garland of white flowers with green accents, rudraksha-style beaded malas, bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead, with both hands raised in a blessing gesture. The scene reads as a stage-style darshan or satsang. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair, beaded malas and ceremonial garland match the presentation cues, and he is seated in person on the throne.2012-12-10December 12 20122012-12-12A photograph of a seated person on an ornate golden-brown throne with a gilded scalloped arch backrest and gold lion-head armrests, with red and orange wooden swan-shaped side supports. The person wears a saffron-orange garment, a long garland of white flowers with green leaves, multiple beaded malas, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi. The hands are raised in an anjali-like gesture while speaking, with flower arrangements at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
