Photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork, against orange-red draped fabric. He wears a tall black turban with a white crescent-shaped ornament and a silver pendant at the front, a white forehead band with a red bindi, and a black beard and moustache. He has layered gold necklaces and strands of red and orange beads across his bare chest and shoulders, and he smiles while looking off to one side. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are a black turban with a crescent ornament, gold ceremonial necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, seated on a throne, matching the page's claim that Swamiji is present at this event. A small lapel microphone is visible at his chin.
