A smiling man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands. He wears an orange turban, orange robes draped over one shoulder, and a long gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. He rests his hands on his lap. Behind him a large red backdrop shows a close-up photo of a smiling man and Kannada text, with golden trident-shaped staffs and floral garlands on either side. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, orange turban and saffron robes with ceremonial gold necklace match the presentation of the event's guru figure, seated in a position of honour on the throne.
