A man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with carved floral and figurative relief, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears white robes with a white shawl draped over one shoulder, multiple rudraksha malas in brown beads, a red bead necklace with a small pendant, gold and beaded armlets and wristbands, and a red bindi on his forehead. His left hand is raised open in explanation while his right hand rests on the armrest. A small book or papers sit on a side table at left, and gold lion-head armrest ends flank the seat. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo through his distinctive long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial throne presentation, as a discourse speaker.
