A smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with lion-head armrests, a red bindi on his forehead and a small microphone at his cheek. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a large ceremonial gold pendant necklace, and rests his hands on the armrests. Beside him stands a tall brass trident-shaped staff, and a white cup sits on a wooden side table. Seated audience members in orange, red and white clothing fill the background of a bright hall. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo, seated in a position of honour with the distinctive turban, saffron robe, rudraksha malas and gold necklace.
