A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head armrests and a richly embellished backrest. He has long dark hair, a red bindi, and wears a sleeveless light blue top with a sky-blue wrap draped over his shoulder and lap, plus multiple strands of beads and a red-pendant necklace. Bangles are on his wrists. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, and his arms rest on the armrests as he speaks. Behind him a red curtain and a painted deity image are visible. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style beaded malas and a ceremonial pendant on a blue wrap, seated on a throne during a discourse.
