A close photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair seated before an ornate gold-carved throne, wearing a maroon shawl with a dark border and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with bead-like pendants. A red-brown tilak mark is on his forehead, and his right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and a maroon wrap indicate the speaker of a discourse; the identification is based on appearance cues only. The setting is a discourse stage with a dark red backdrop.
