A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with a carved gold backrest shaped like scrolling flourishes and a pair of gilded figures at the edges. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned garment with a gold-threaded border, a long pink lotus garland, multiple gold beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a white and red tilak on his forehead. His hair is swept back and he has a full dark beard, smiling and seated with one hand resting on the armrest. A leopard-print cushion, a folded rust-coloured cloth and a microphone on a stand are beside him, with a small white candle in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are swept-back hair, rust-red saffron clothing, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and a gilded throne, presented as the seated speaker.
