A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-shaped armrests, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, with a red bindi on the forehead. The figure raises one hand in a gesture while speaking into a microphone on a stand. In front sits a small arrangement of pink roses, and on the left a book rests on a stand. Behind the throne hang orange and green draped banners with red and yellow floral motifs, and gold-painted ornamental columns surround the stage. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace, seated on a gold throne as the speaker.
