A photograph of a man seated on an ornate white and silver throne with red velvet cushioning, speaking into a microphone before a deep red curtain. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with a gold ornament and a yellow feather, a rust-orange robe with a gold-trimmed edge, a long gold necklace and bracelets of orange beads with gold accents on his arms and wrist. He smiles and gestures with one open hand. A copper vessel sits near the base of the throne. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold ornamentation, which are cues consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji as present.
