A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with a brown cushioned seat, draped with yellow and red-purple marigold garlands. He wears an orange turban, orange robes, a bare upper body with gold ornaments, multiple rudraksha-style beaded malas and a large pendant necklace, and raises both palms in a blessing gesture. Gold staffs with tridents stand on either side of the throne, and a microphone stands at the right. A large orange backdrop with a painted deity figure and a Dasara banner completes the stage. Swamiji (probable) appears here as the seated speaker on the throne, identified by the turban, orange clothing, beaded malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, with the throne and garlands indicating a Dasara celebration event.
