A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, seated on an ornate gold-upholstered throne with black carved armrests. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe over a leopard-print shawl and a long ceremonial gold bead necklace, hands folded in his lap. Before him is a microphone stand and a border of marigolds and yellow flowers. Behind the throne a painted backdrop shows mountains, and a brass trident stands at right. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold bead necklace; he is seated on the stage throne as the speaker.
