A person in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and lion-shaped armrests, hands raised in an explanatory gesture. He wears a long multi-strand necklace of gold-toned beads and a red tilak on the forehead. The throne is decorated with a garland of white, yellow, red and green flowers. A microphone stand is in front of him, and pink and white flower arrangements sit on side tables beside water bottles. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker wears an orange turban, saffron robes, gold bead necklace and long hair, matching the page's reference to an inaugural speech, so this is an in-person appearance on a throne at a discourse.
