A man in an orange-red turban with a jewelled ornament sits on a tiger-skin-draped golden Nandi bull sculpture on a stage, in front of a large crowd. He wears an orange-brown robe, layered gold garlands, a rudraksha mala, and gold arm bands, holding a long golden staff with his hand extended. Audience members in orange, red and white clothing sit closely packed, and large screens behind display colourful imagery. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a turban and ornate saffron clothing with ceremonial gold necklaces, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
