A seated man in a maroon-red dhoti and wrap with a dark rudraksha mala and bracelets, a large dark turban with a red-orange cloth, and a pink-and-white flower garland, eyes closed, right palm raised in blessing, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him is a black Shiva linga wearing a yellow-and-red garland with a white tripundra marking, and a black deity murti with yellow flowers stands at right. Orange flames of a fire pit appear at the lower left, and purple flower strands decorate the altar. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker wears a large turban and rudraksha mala with a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's Shiva Astra Maha Shanti Homa context, so the identity is recorded as probable rather than confirmed.
