A photograph of a smiling bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a red-orange shawl and dhoti with gold-bordered edges and a long gold necklace. A tilak marks his forehead and he holds a black microphone in one hand. A silver plate of green leaves sits in the foreground, and a gilded deity figure holding a tray stands beside the throne. The setting appears to be a golden ceremonial hall. Presentation fits the Swamiji (probable) cues: long hair, saffron-toned ceremonial clothing and gold necklace, seated on a throne while speaking.
