A smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion, raising his right hand in a wave toward the viewer. He wears a rust-orange turban with a feather and jewelled ornament, orange-red ochre robes draped over the body, a heavy gold necklace with a large temple-shaped pendant, and a red thread on his wrist. A tilak mark is on his forehead and a microphone stands before him. Behind him is elaborate gold repoussé decoration. Swamiji (probable): long hair and ornate saffron-toned clothing with a crown-like turban and gold necklaces, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
