A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with a gilded shell-patterned backrest and red cushions, speaking into a microphone with both hands gesturing. He wears a rust-red turban with a crescent emblem and jewelled ornament, a rust-red shawl and robe with gold border, a thick gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, and orange-red beaded armlets and bracelets. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate gold necklaces, red ceremonial clothing and throne cues suggest the page's identified teacher, presented as in person. A carved golden pillar stands at right, and two water bottles are visible at the bottom edge.
