A photograph of a man seated before an ornate gold-leaf backdrop, speaking into a black microphone on a stand at right. He has long, dark, swept-back hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and wears an orange saffron wrap over his bare shoulder and chest. Large gold beaded ceremonial necklaces hang across his chest. His right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks. Probable Swamiji (probable) — long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces, seated as a speaker giving a discourse, consistent with the page's kriya teaching context. Behind him is a golden throne-like carved backdrop. The image is in a bright ashram-style hall setting.
