A photograph of a man seated in a decorated stage setting, wearing a saffron-orange draped robe over his shoulders and a red tilak mark on his forehead. He has long dark hair swept back, a beard and moustache, and a red thread on his wrist. He sits on a leopard-print cushioned chair beside an ornate silver lion-footed stand and a silver staff. Behind him is a backdrop of garlands of red roses, purple, yellow and white flowers arranged in bands. Swamiji (probable) is the appearance-based label for the seated man, who has long hair, saffron robes and a tilak, seated with a silver lion-form ornament. The scene shows a satsang-style setting with flower decoration and a red-lit background.
