A photograph of a man seated on a white cushioned throne-like chair in front of a dark red curtain, raising both hands with palms open above his head in a blessing or teaching gesture. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold border, and a long garland of white and orange flowers with red rudraksha-like beads hangs around his neck. A microphone on a stand stands beside him, and white cushions and a folded cloth rest around the chair. Bare feet are visible. The appearance matches the Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland, and the page indicates he is present, so this is a probable in-person identification based on appearance cues: Swamiji (probable) conducting a session at a discourse.
