A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet cushion, holding a tall silver staff topped with a serpent-like finial. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold-coloured necklace and a long gold chain, has a tilak on his forehead, and smiles toward the camera. Behind and beside him, devotees sit on the floor: a young man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha beads, a woman in white with a gold necklace, and an older woman in orange with glasses. The setting is an indoor hall with an orange cloth and a silver-framed object in the background. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the presentation cues of long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing, gold necklaces and a ceremonial staff, presented as a teacher in a discourse setting.
