A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved, wide back against a deep red curtain. He wears a maroon turban, a maroon-brown robe, and a long garland of white and pink flowers over his shoulders, with a gold chain necklace and beaded mala. He smiles while seated beside a microphone stand. To his left stands a tall gold ceremonial staff with a flame-shaped top, and a brass oil lamp sits nearby on a small table. The floor has a striped multicolored runner. The figure matches the appearance cues of the probable Swamiji with a turban, saffron-toned clothing, and a mala, seated on a throne during a discourse setting.
