A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, raising both palms toward the viewer in a blessing gesture. He wears a rust-brown turban with a jewelled gold ornament, a brown silk garment, a rudraksha-style gold necklace layered over multiple gold chains with a large gold pendant, and red and gold bangles, with a white and red forehead marking. Behind him stands a second figure in a dark head covering, and a red curtain with green foliage decorates the stage. Appearance cues (turban, gold ornaments, saffron-brown clothing, throne) match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji in person on stage.
