A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved, filigreed back, against a blue fabric backdrop printed with paisley-like motifs. He wears a rust-red turban with a red feather and a peacock-feather accent at the side, a rust-red wrap over the shoulders, a long multi-strand necklace of pearl-like beads and gold pieces, a pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and holds a bamboo flute in his raised right hand while his left arm is extended outward, mid-speech. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure; the appearance cues are the long hair under the turban, the ornate gold necklace, the red-orange clothing and the peacock and feather headdress, and the role is teaching or addressing a satsang from a throne. A copyright line is visible at the upper right of the photo.
