A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gold lion armrests. The seated figure has long, swept-back dark wavy hair, wears an orange saffron robe and a beaded mala, and gestures with one hand while speaking. Three standing men in white shirts and light trousers and one man in an orange robe with a grey beard stand around, watching attentively. A fourth man in a white shirt crouches at the lower right beside a blue cloth. Behind them are a red-and-gold curtained backdrop, a large planter and a window. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robe and mala match the page's Swamiji claim, and the throne is an honouring setting.
