A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion, speaking into a standing microphone and smiling. Before him, a kneeling devotee in a white top with long curly dark hair offers a small book with a photo on its cover, while a pearl-like mala rests in the other hand. Two saffron-robed attendants stand at left, one holding a sheet of paper and reading. Stacks of books lie on the carpet and a golden tray of fruit sits nearby, with yellow and maroon draped cloth behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has swept-back dark hair, saffron robes and a golden throne setting, which are the appearance cues for the throne-seated speaker.
