A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne in front of a gold-toned deity murti of a seated figure with raised hands. He wears a rust-red sleeveless robe, a thick multi-strand gold necklace, and a long garland of white and red flowers, with a red tilak on his forehead and red-beaded armlets. A silver trident stands at left, potted green plants and brass lamps surround the dais, and a microphone stand and white cup sit at right beside a wooden side table. Red and gold drapes form the backdrop. Ceremonial chair, garlanded man, discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron-red ceremonial clothing, ornate gold necklaces and garland cues match the page.
