A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion, wearing a cream-coloured turban with a jewelled ornament, a maroon and gold robe, a multi-strand rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders and rudraksha bracelets on his arms, and a red bindi. He holds one hand open in front of him while speaking into a headset microphone. Beside the throne sits a gilded lion figure, and behind him stands a painted deity murti with a golden crown. The man's appearance with a turban, rudraksha malas and ornate maroon attire matches the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification from visible cues, though the face is not used for identification.
