A man seated on a red velvet throne-style chair in front of an ornate gold-patterned backdrop, speaking into a head-mounted microphone. He wears an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulder and a multi-strand gold necklace of large bead-like pieces with a smaller gold chain, plus a gold hoop earring. He has white vertical tilak lines on his forehead with a red dot at the centre and long swept-back dark hair. He holds a silver staff with ornate finials in one hand and a small brass oil lamp rests near his other hand. Swamiji (probable) is the page's subject; the appearance cues are the saffron shawl, ornate gold necklaces, long hair and seated presentation. Appearance is consistent with the page, so this is a satsang photograph of a teacher addressing an audience.
