A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits smiling on a large cream-coloured throne-style seat in front of a microphone on a stand. He wears an orange-saffron robe with white and red flower garlands draped over his shoulders. Behind him, a golden deity murti or altar decorated with pink and yellow flower garlands and red drapes stands among tall brass lamps, with an oil lamp and a brass vessel nearby. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate ceremonial setting, seated on a throne before a microphone, suggest a probable identification as Swamiji.
