A photograph of a seated man speaking into a microphone on a flower-decorated throne with a red velvet back and a canopy of white, yellow, pink and orange garlands. He wears a dark embroidered jacket, a multicoloured flower garland, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold pendant, with a red bindi on his forehead; his hands are clasped in his lap. Behind him is a backdrop of painted figures in blue plinths, some in orange and red clothing with hands folded in namaskar, and draped pink and blue cloth with white flower strings frames the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker's long swept-back hair, ornate dark jacket, mala and gold pendant are the cues, shown in the role of speaker on a ceremonial throne.
