Photograph of a bearded man seated on a leopard-print cushioned seat, speaking into a microphone on a stand, smiling and gesturing with his left hand. He wears a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament, a rust-brown wrap, a heavy white and gold floral garland with gold beads, gold bangles and a gold armband. Behind him hangs a red velvet curtain and an ornate panel of orange, green, blue and red embellished with sequins, beads and mirror work. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker is a long-haired, bearded figure in a turban with ceremonial gold necklaces and bangles, consistent with the page's reference to a discourse.
