A photograph from a discourse stage with a navy blue curtain backdrop. A man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested under a saffron and gold silk shawl, with a gold-toned necklace and red tilak, sits on a white-covered armchair holding a small offering and money. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate gold-bordered saffron shawl and beaded necklace match the page's description. Two standing men in light collared shirts face him on the left, and a figure in white lies prostrate on the red-draped floor in the foreground. A large black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in a white turban hangs on the right, and a flower arrangement of yellow and red blooms sits beside the chair.
