A photograph of a large hall where a bearded man in a rust-orange cloth and a rudraksha-style mala with a gold pendant sits on an ornate gold-and-brown lion-armed throne, holding a small book and a microphone headset, one hand raised near his face. A tall golden trident stands to his left. Seated audience members in white, pale blue and green clothing, many with orange-and-yellow forehead markings, fill the foreground and rows behind; a large screen above shows a crowd in orange and red garments. A pedestal fan stands at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a beard, saffron-orange robes, a gold ceremonial pendant and a rudraksha mala, seated on a throne.
