A photograph of a long-haired man in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, a gold canopy above, and a garland of yellow, red, green and white flowers draped around the backrest. He holds a microphone on a stand and a paper in one hand, and appears to be speaking to an audience. A gold staff leans against the left side of the throne. Behind him is a large backdrop showing an enlarged face, and a small table with a white cloth and a glass sits at right. Based on the visible long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne, this is the probable Swamiji in person.
