A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet backrest and lion-face armrests. He wears an orange saffron robe, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. He holds up a small booklet or card with a picture toward the crowd, speaking into a microphone on a stand. The background is a red and white draped fabric. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the orange robe, long hair, gold necklace and ceremonial throne.
