A photograph of a man seated on an ornate white and red throne with a deep red velvet back, in front of a red drape and gold metal scaffolding with chains. He wears a large gold crown, a red-brown ochre cloth, a gold chest pendant and gold necklaces, and a long garland of pink and white flowers, with red-beaded bangles on his upper arms and wrists. He holds the armrest of the throne and a silver rod, with a microphone on a stand before him, and a small framed portrait sits on the armrest in the lower left. The visible cues of long-established ceremonial dress, gold crown and ochre garments fit the Swamiji (probable) label for the person presiding on the throne, who is teaching in front of the microphone.
