A seated man in orange saffron robes and a long gold bead necklace smiles and raises one hand in a gesture of speech while looking to the side. He has long swept-back dark hair and a small red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stands an ornate gold-embossed throne backrest, and at right a brass oil lamp burns with a visible flame in front of a grey draped curtain. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial gold beads match the appearance cues for the Swamiji in this archive, shown here as a speaker seated on a throne during a discourse.
