A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion and cobra motifs, a red cloth backdrop behind. He wears a leopard-print turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a long multicoloured garland of yellow, white, red and green flowers, a heavy gold necklace with pendants, gold armlets, and a rust-red robe. A microphone stands beside him. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial throne match cues for the event's presiding figure, seated and garlanded.
