A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne with intricate repoussé carving. He wears a rust-red turban with a gold snake emblem and crescent ornament, a rust-red shawl over a bare upper body, and a long garland of pink and white flowers. A white forehead marking and a red bindi are visible. A microphone on a stand is at right, and a white-and-gold staff with a carved serpent head stands at left. Leopard-print cushions sit beneath him. Swamiji (probable): the bearded man with long swept-back hair in a turban, rust-red shawl and flower garland, seated as a discourse speaker on the golden peetha.
