A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded red throne-chair, on a raised red-carpeted stage. The man has long dark hair swept back, a full beard, and wears an orange-brown saffron robe draped over the shoulders with bare arms and feet. Eyes are closed and one hand rests on the lap while the other rests near a small carved wooden lectern-stand. Behind him is a red and yellow draped backdrop. A seated audience in orange, saffron and white clothing fills the foreground, with many people in orange shawls and some women wearing bright dresses. A digital keyboard unit sits on a carved wooden side table at right. The figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robe and throne seating.
