Photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, a carved swan figure at its arm, on a red stage. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and wrapped around his body, with white markings on his arms, and gestures with one raised hand while speaking. Tall ornate gilded staffs stand beside the throne against red drapes and a yellow backdrop. A seated audience in front includes people in orange and white clothing. Probable Swamiji in an appearance-based label: long hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial throne setting.
