A seated man in an orange-saffron sleeveless robe and a gold beaded necklace sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-trimmed dais with red-and-black tiger-striped cushions. He holds open a red book on a wooden stand, smiling toward a microphone on a stand. Behind him hang strings of beads and pale fabric. A tiny red bindi marks his forehead and long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold ceremonial necklace on a throne, consistent with the page's claim of his presence.
