A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi stands on a stage in front of a painted mountain backdrop. He wears an orange saffron robe, a leopard-print shawl over one shoulder, and a long ceremonial gold bead necklace. He holds a fan of small books or booklets toward the camera. Behind him is an ornate dark wooden throne with carved scrollwork, a microphone stand is at the right edge, and a glass water bottle and papers sit on a table at the lower left. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the orange robe, long hair, gold beaded necklace and leopard shawl.
