A smiling man in a beige turban with a jewelled ornament and a red bindi sits on an ornate gilded throne with red tiger-striped upholstery and a golden lion carving at its arm. He wears white draped clothing with brown braided trim, multiple tiers of brown rudraksha beaded malas, and silver bangles on his arm, and holds a silver staff across his lap. A lapel microphone is visible near his face. The background shows a colourful decorated stage backdrop in red, orange and green. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial setting match the presentation expected for the title of this archive entry, so the seated figure is the presiding teacher.
