A seated man in saffron-orange robes raises his right hand while speaking into a black microphone on a stand. He wears long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, and a heavy gold necklace of barrel-shaped beads with a gold pendant, layered over white jasmine garlands and a yellow-and-green flower garland. He sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and studded trim, backed by red roses and white flowers. Swamiji (probable) is the discourse speaker in this photograph; the identification rests on the saffron robes, long hair, bindi, gold beaded necklace and garlands alongside the throne setting.
