Black-and-white photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne (peetha) on a stage, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a dark turban with a crescent emblem, a saffron-toned wrap, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace, and has vibhuti marks on his forehead. He gestures with one hand while speaking. Behind him is a large embossed backdrop of seated yogis in meditation and a carved deity figure, with a tall trident (trishul) standing to the left.
