A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved gold lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a dark red turban adorned with gold crescent and star ornaments, a red-brown robe, a long pink and white flower garland, a multi-strand gold bead necklace, a gold pendant, and gold armlets and bangles. He gestures with his left hand raised. A deep red curtain hangs behind him. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair under a crown-like turban, saffron/ochre ceremonial clothing, ornate gold jewellery and a seated dais position consistent with a discourse.
