A seated man on a gold-carved throne with lion-shaped golden armrests, wearing a large garland of pink lotus flowers, white jasmine and green-yellow lime-like fruits, with red flowers woven in. He has a red-and-gold headband, white and red marks on his forehead, and wears an orange-brown dhoti. Swamiji (probable): long hair swept back under a crown-like headband, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha-style beaded garland and saffron-orange clothing, seated as the honoured speaker in the photograph. Behind him are gold-embossed panels and marble-patterned walls.
