A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a red-draped stage, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a shawl over his bare shoulder. He holds his hands folded in his lap and looks ahead. Beside him stands a tall ornate golden staff topped with a finial, and to the right a small carved wooden stand holds a book. Seated devotees in orange, red and white clothing fill the foreground and sides of the hall, some with hands pressed together in namaste, with red curtains and a yellow backdrop behind the stage. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial gold regalia.
