A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne flanked by silver lion sculptures, with a microphone on a stand beside him. He wears a rust-orange sannyasi cloth wrapped over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala of beads around his neck, a gold pendant necklace and a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and his long dark hair is swept back. A leopard-print cushion lies on the seat, and a small silver stand holds a white cup. Swamiji (probable): a figure with long swept-back hair, saffron ceremonial clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace seated on a throne, consistent with the page's reference to him at this event.
