A seated man in a leopard-print turban and rust-red robe, wearing many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, with a ceremonial gold pendant and a clip-on microphone, sits in front of a silver-embossed throne. Behind him a large golden sun-shaped backdrop glows, and a gold trident stands at left beside brass lamps. A stone bowl and a woven basket lie in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photograph, identified by the turban, the rudraksha malas and the ornate gold pendant; he is seated and speaking at a microphone during a teaching.
