A photograph of a stage in a hall with a deep maroon drape backdrop. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing rust-orange robes, a gold necklace and a long white flower garland, with long dark hair, speaks with arms outstretched. Above him a large gold and orange ornamental canopy rises, flanked by tall striped decorative banners in red, green and yellow. Gold trident staffs, lion figures, brass vessels and a red-and-gold patterned floor cloth frame the dais. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and rust-orange robes on a throne, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, though the photo is not conclusively identified.
