A photograph of a seated figure on a raised red-carpeted stage, reading from an open red book held in both hands. The person wears an orange-saffron dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth draped over the shoulder, bare-chested, with a gold ornate necklace, a gold armlet, a red bindi, and a small headset microphone. Behind is an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back and gold lion-form armrests set on a tiger-striped plinth. Orange and red flowers and green foliage decorate the platform sides, and a rectangular wooden stand rests in front. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron clothing and a crown-like throne setting, presenting a discourse.
