Photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate golden throne with a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a gold clasp and a yellow-tipped feather, an orange-brown saffron robe, a gold necklace, and a long pink and white lotus garland. He holds a white carved staff topped with a figure, and gestures with his right hand. Behind him are gold lion-carved panels and a deep red curtain. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe, ornate gold setting and garlands match the presentation of the page's subject, but appearance alone is not conclusive.
