A seated man smiles broadly in front of an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork panels and a red tiger-striped cushion. He wears a maroon turban with a jeweled brooch, a red bindi, and a rust-coloured shawl draped over his shoulder and bare chest, with a beaded rudraksha-style mala and gold bangles on his arms. A small microphone is attached near his mouth and a hand rests on his lap. Part of a painted figure appears at the right edge. The photo appears to be a discourse or satsang setting. Visible cues include the turban, maroon shawl, beaded mala and throne, which support a probable identification as Swamiji seated for teaching.
