A photograph of a decorated stage in a hall with a maroon velvet drape behind it. A seated figure in orange-red garments with a rudraksha mala sits on a gilded throne with cushions, flanked by floral garlands. To the left and right are other ornate thrones and deity murti figures draped in garlands, with a gold-trimmed peetha and a figure in yellow with a vahana-style animal at right. The figure on the central throne matches the presentation the page describes, with long hair and a rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji identification based on those cues; the ceremonial setting and garlanded thrones are visible.
