Photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-coloured wrap seated with his back to the camera on an ornate silver throne with red cushions, a silver staff and a silver swan-shaped ewer beside him. Before him a large crowd sits on red-carpeted floor in front of yellow and maroon drapery, with a screen above showing a live feed. Among the audience are people in saffron and orange shawls and a white-haired woman in a lavender sari wearing a long beaded necklace. The man's dark rudraksha-style cords and swept-back long hair are visible, though his face is not shown. Appearance cues are suggestive but the figure is seen from behind, so identity is uncertain.
