A man in an ornate silver-gilt throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions sits on a stage, hands raised palms-out in greeting, smiling. He wears a rust-orange robe over a bare shoulder and has long dark hair and a full beard. A trident stands beside the throne and a backdrop of a historic riverside city with multi-storey buildings and ghats fills the screen behind. The throne's back carries a large carved floral and deity-like crest. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a full beard, an orange robe and a ceremonial throne with a trident, which together match the cues for the named Swamiji; he is in person, so the candidate is physically present. The page dates the event to 18 May 2018 and says Swamiji was present, and the scene shows a satsang-style stage setting.
