A man seated on an ornate golden throne with carved lion-head armrests and red striped cushions, in front of painted deity figures with raised hands. He wears a pale peach turban with a jewelled ornament, a maroon and gold shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long rudraksha mala, and beaded bracelets, and gestures with his right hand while speaking. The throne is backed by a gold filigree arch and a silver staff rests beside him. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated teacher, based on the turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial maroon-gold attire; the photo is captioned with the archive label in the corner.
