A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet back, speaking into a microphone with his right hand raised in a gesture. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulder and a heavy gold necklace of large beads, with a white tripundra mark on his forehead and long hair swept back. A small placard sits on the throne arm, and a vase of red and white flowers stands on the adjacent gilded table with water bottles. Behind him hang dark navy curtains against a beige wall. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, recognised by the saffron robe, gold beaded necklace, long swept-back hair and white forehead marks, and is addressing an audience.
