A photograph inside a pink-and-white tented pavilion showing a press scrum around a seated figure beside a large golden ornamental throne decorated with garlands of marigolds, roses and yellow flowers. The central figure wears a bright saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange robes with a beaded necklace and is holding a microphone-facing exchange with reporters. Several journalists and cameramen crowd close, holding microphones and video cameras, including a man in a white shirt with a camera at the right edge. A bald man in the foreground faces the seated figure, and robed attendants in orange and white stand in the background. Red and white drapery lines the tent walls. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the saffron turban and robes, identified only by compatible cues: the orange turban, saffron robes and ornate beaded necklace beside the throne.
