A seated man speaks into a microphone on a golden throne with a large carved cobra hood behind him, against red drapes. He wears a rust-brown turban with a small gold ornament, a rust-brown robe, a long rudraksha mala, heavy gold necklaces and a gold armlet, and a long pink lotus garland hangs to his feet. He raises one hand in a gesture while speaking. A tiger-striped cloth lies on the seat, a small framed photo sits on a side table at left, and a blurred golden kalasha or lamp stands in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photograph, seated on the peetha as the speaker, with his turban, rudraksha and gold cues.
