A photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold-embossed throne with repoussé floral and scroll carvings behind him. He wears a rust-orange robe draped over his shoulders, a long orange shawl, and a heavy multi-strand necklace of large gold beads with a gold pendant. He has a white vertical tilak mark on his forehead with a red dot, small hoop earrings, a gold bangle and a ring, and a small clip-on microphone. His hands are raised mid-gesture as he speaks. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and throne are consistent with the page's identification, and he is shown in the act of speaking to an audience.
