A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne (peetha) draped with garlands in orange, yellow, green, purple and white, with a red cushion beneath him. He wears a pink dhoti-style garment, a gold crown, a gold necklace, a white flower garland and a gold armlet, and smiles toward the camera. A gold-coloured red-and-multicolour canopy hangs above him. Brass oil lamps (deepas) with flames stand on either side, a microphone stand is at right, and a blue brick-patterned wall forms the backdrop. Gold carved side panels flank the throne and a flower-decorated footstool sits in front. Overlaid archive copyright text appears at lower right. Probable Swamiji seated in the throne, with a crown, saffron-pink ceremonial clothing, gold necklace and garland cues.
