A photograph of a smiling bearded man seated on an ornate silver-gilt throne-style chair, speaking into a handheld microphone. He wears a rust-orange draped cloth over bare shoulders, a gold chain necklace, and a white horizontal forehead mark, with long wavy hair. Foreground heads of seated listeners, including a child with a braided ponytail, face him, and a small steel bowl with food sits on a table. A leopard-print cloth and a space heater appear at left, with carved gilded woodwork behind. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure seated in a teaching setting; his appearance shows long swept-back hair, rust-orange draped clothing, and a gold necklace.
