A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange robe, a heavy gold necklace, rudraksha mala beads, a pink-and-white flower garland, and a white tripundra mark with a red dot on his forehead. Behind him stand a gold metal deity murti and green foliage, with a brass oil lamp to the left and colourful striped cloth hangings. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker's long hair, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha mala and saffron-orange clothing match the page's description of the event.
