A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange turban decorated with a gold jewelled brooch and a green feather, wearing a matching orange-red shawl, a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and gold armbands. He smiles while speaking into a microphone on a stand, seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of an ornate gold-leaf backdrop. A white serpent-headed staff rests at his left. Swamiji (probable): long hair in a braid and a turban with ornate gold adornments, with a crown-like turban and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne as a speaker.
