A photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged on a zebra-striped, cushioned throne-like chair against a pale wall. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder with a light pink-edged shawl and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, and has a small red bindi on his forehead and a small microphone clipped near his face. He rests one hand on his bare foot. Two water bottles and a white fan with gold trim sit to the left, and dark-haired heads of an audience appear at the bottom edge. A watermarked caption on the lower right is omitted. The appearance-based label is probable Swamiji, a seated figure with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace, though identity is uncertain.
