Photo of a smiling man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned cloth draped over his bare upper torso, a large rudraksha mala of dark brown beads, a gold chain, and a red tilak on his forehead; long dreadlocked hair falls behind him. A silver stand holds a small brass lamp and a framed portrait. A silver staff with a serpent-head top leans to the left. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
