A photograph of a bearded man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne, speaking into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a rust-brown turban with a leopard-print band and silver ornaments, a rust-brown robe, a heavy gold necklace and a long pink lotus-petal garland, with gold bangles on his wrists and a sandalwood-and-kumkum mark on his forehead. A silver ceremonial staff with leaf pendants stands at left, and a painted backdrop of a turban-wearing figure hangs behind him. Striped cloth lies on the floor at right. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the saffron-brown ornate clothing, the turban and the gold necklace, and is shown in a speaking role on a throne.
