A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet cushion, eyes closed, smiling, one hand raised in a blessing gesture. He wears a maroon-red wrap over his shoulders, a long multi-strand gold necklace, a gold chest pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a white horizontal forehead mark with a red dot. A microphone on a stand is at his side. Blurred orange-robed attendants and a gold-and-red temple setting with a golden kalasha-style vessel stand behind him. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a crown-like setting of ceremonial dress, consistent with the probable identification of Swamiji seated for a discourse.
