A photograph of a seated figure on a large brown leather throne in a hall with orange draped backdrops. The seated figure wears an orange robe with a leopard-print cloth at the waist, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, gold bangles, and a dark swept-back hairstyle; a red tilak marks the forehead. He holds a small cigarette-like stick near the mouth and smiles. A tall silver trident stands at left. A seated audience in orange, white and blue clothing fills the foreground and background, many wearing lanyards, and a microphone stand is at right. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne, identified by the Swamiji (probable) cues of swept-back hair, orange ornate clothing and rudraksha mala as a presiding teacher addressing the crowd.
