A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace and a red bindi. He sits cross-legged with a microphone stand in front of him and gestures with both hands while speaking. Long dark wavy hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him is a highly detailed gold repoussé backdrop, and the base of the throne carries a gilded inscription band. The setting suggests a seated discourse before an audience, though the audience is not visible. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron/orange robes and a gold bead garland are the qualifying cues for the seated speaker on the throne.
