A photograph of a standing man in a saffron-orange robe, orange turban and layered necklaces with a white flower garland, holding a book and gesturing during a teaching session on a red carpet. Behind him is a tall black bronze deity murti of multiple arms, and to the right an ornate gold throne (peetha) with a cobra-hooded canopy topped by a trident, draped in leopard-print cloth. A whiteboard on the left lists states of consciousness in English with the words Jagrat, Swapna, Sushupti and Turiya. Tall brass tridents stand in the foreground. Probable Swamiji (saffron robe, orange turban, garlanded and standing before the gold throne) is the lone visible person.

He wears a rust-orange turban with a white flower, a long white and gold garland, and gold bangles. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra hood and leopard-print cushions, flanked by dark sculptures and a red stage floor. The whiteboard shows a grid titled with states of consciousness: Jagrat (wakeful state), Swapna (dream state), Sushupthi (deep sleep) and Turiya (blissful state), alongside the phrases 'with I consciousness' and 'without I consciousness'.

A man in a maroon-and-brown turban with a small white flower ornament stands at right, wearing a long white flower garland, a red-brown shawl over a dark wrap, gold armbands and bead necklaces, and his right hand placed on his chest. Beside him a white whiteboard stands on gold stands, showing a four-quadrant chart of states of consciousness with labels for jagrat, turiya, swapna and sushupthi. At right is an ornate gold throne-like seat. Appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference (turban, garland, ornate clothing) and he is presented as the speaker, so the candidate is probable.2016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03
