A smiling man with long dark hair, a full beard and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a rust-brown robe with gold trim, layered gold and beaded necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and holding a white beaded mala. A microphone stands before him. Behind the throne are gilded carved panels, a golden pillar and a figure of a deity in a colourful backdrop, with green foliage and a brass vessel at the side. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo; the throne, saffron-brown robe, long hair and ornate gold adornments are the qualifying cues, and the seated man is shown in person.
