A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with carved golden backrest and lion-shaped armrest supports. He wears a white turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a long multicoloured embroidered robe in purple, pink and blue, a shawl draped over his shoulders, a long garland of white flowers with red and green threads, and a heavy gold necklace. He sits with hands resting on the armrests, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Flower arrangements in red and yellow stand at the sides, and a dark blue backdrop hangs behind the throne. Swamiji's appearance is probable here: the turban, long hair, rich ornate robe, ceremonial gold necklace and enthroned seat are visible cues.
