A photograph of a man seated on a large ornate golden throne with dark carved armrests and backrest, against a painted mountain-and-sky backdrop. He wears saffron-orange robes, a long string of gold beads around his neck, a leopard-print shawl draped over one shoulder and the throne, and a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He sits cross-legged with hands resting in his lap, smiling and looking to the side. A microphone stand is at right, a water bottle and a brass vessel are at left, and bare feet rest on a small footstool. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robes, gold bead necklace and leopard shawl match the presentation of the seated speaker on the throne.
