Photograph of a smiling man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne chair in front of a gold-patterned backdrop, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with a gold jewelled ornament and a gold serpent emblem, a rust-red shawl over bare shoulders, and a long gold necklace of bead-like pieces with a large gold pendant. A red tilak mark is on his forehead. The chair has a red velvet seat and silver carved frame. This is a candidate Swamiji (probable) seated as a teacher giving a discourse, identified by the turban, saffron-toned ornate clothing, gold necklaces and throne cues.
