Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-carved throne with red tiger-stripe upholstery, in front of a blue fabric backdrop with a dark peacock-feather pattern. The figure wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a peacock feather, a red feather and jewelled ornaments, a red bindi, a gold-and-black bead garland with pearls, rust-orange shawl draped over the body with a gold border, beaded armlets and bracelets, and a gold ring. He holds a slender wooden rod with green-tipped ends and smiles while speaking, with a small microphone near the face. Cues are a distinctive turban, peacock feather and ceremonial gold necklaces on a throne, consistent with a probable Swamiji appearance; the page identifies him as present at this event. A leopard-print cloth lies on the throne arm.
