A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a crescent and jewelled ornament, a rust-orange robe, a long gold-and-beaded necklace with a large pendant, and has long dark hair and a full beard. A silver ceremonial staff with a red-jewelled tip stands beside him, a golden trident rises behind, and a white cup sits on a small wooden table. Carved stone panels and red curtains form the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, crown-like turban, saffron-orange clothing and ornate gold necklace match the appearance-based cues.
