A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes seated on an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned back, decorated with white jasmine garlands and multicolored flower garlands in yellow, purple and red. A golden canopy with hanging leaf ornaments sits above him, and golden lion figures flank the seat. He wears a red bindi and raises one hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. To his left, a second man in orange robes and a gold necklace sits on the red stage floor, with a white-clad figure partly visible at the bottom left. The stage is covered in scattered yellow petals against a dark blue curtain. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a throne and garlands, and is in the speaking role described on the page.
