A photograph of a seated man in a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament and a feather, wearing an orange-red shawl draped over his body and a long gold necklace with a rectangular gold pendant. He sits with eyes closed and smiles while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him is an ornate gold throne with flame-like carved backrest, and he rests on leopard-print cushions. A white snake-shaped staff rests at his left side and a gold lion-head armrest is visible at right. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), given the saffron-orange clothing, turban, ornate gold necklace and ceremonial throne, in a discourse setting.
