Photograph of a bearded man seated in profile on an ornate golden throne, speaking into a black microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-brown turban with a crescent ornament and a jewelled brooch, a bare-chested rust-orange garment, long dark matted hair, and multiple strands of brown beads with gold beads and a gold trident pendant. Red-orange bands are on his upper arm and wrist. A silver ceremonial staff with a carved face stands at left, and a red curtain and brass lamps are in the background. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, rudraksha beads, gold ornaments and throne setting, seated as a speaker in a discourse.
