A man seated before a microphone on a stand, wearing a deep rust-brown turban decorated with jeweled pins, a red feather, and gold ornaments, plus a kumkum or vibhuti mark on his forehead. He wears a heavy gold necklace, a gold earring, and an orange-brown cloth draped over his shoulder with gold border. He holds a crystal-topped silver staff, and behind him stand gold-toned carved panels and a white ornate throne with red cushioning. Swamiji (probable): the long swept hair beneath the turban, the ornate turban and gold necklace match the appearance cues, and the page places him at this event, so this is the presenter in person.
