Close-up photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral scrollwork. He wears a tall black turban decorated with a silver crescent moon, white forehead markings with a red bindi, and a small headset microphone near his ear. He is draped in a rust-orange garment layered with heavy gold chain necklaces, a black bead mala and ornate gold pendants, and gold chain armbands. Swamiji (probable) is shown as the seated figure with distinctive ceremonial cues: a crowned turban, saffron-orange robe and ornate gold necklaces.
