A seated man in a silver-carved, red-velvet throne chair on a stage, wearing a rust-orange draped garment and a heavy gold beaded necklace with a red wrist thread. He has long dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead and sits with hands clasped, facing right toward a microphone on a stand. Behind him hang red drapes and ornate gold panels. A copper vessel sits on a small table at left and a tall gold-topped staff leans at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron-orange clothing, consistent with the page's claim of his presence at the event.
