A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling and pressing his palms together in front of a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red shawl over bare shoulders, a sacred thread and a long gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead. A white cup sits on a small wooden side table to his left, a tall gold staff leans beside him, and behind him are gilded carved panels and decorated deity statues with jewelled ornaments. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, red shawl and ornate gold regalia fit the presentation of the page's named speaker, seated as a discourse speaker. This is a photograph of one person.
