A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne carved with a cobra hood and peacock-like motifs, flanked by golden lion-head armrests with leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-red turban with a vermilion bindi, a rust-red shawl, a rudraksha mala and a long gold ceremonial necklace with a gold pendant, and gold bangles on his arms. A microphone stands in front of him, and a red curtain and leafy green foliage fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a red turban, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
