A photograph of a man seated on an ornately carved wooden throne with a leopard-print cushion, positioned on a dais before a microphone stand. He wears a rust-orange robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold-and-beaded necklace, gold armlets and a red bindi-style mark with white tilak on the forehead, and he smiles while looking to the side. Behind him stand a golden deity murti of a seated figure with a companion, potted green plants, a red drape, brass lamps and bells, and a carved wooden door with coloured hanging fabric banners. A tall golden staff stands in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and beard, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on a throne in the role of a speaker on a dais.
