A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne in a decorated hall. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a yellow dhoti, a long white-and-orange flower garland, and a rudraksha-style necklace, and he gestures with both hands as if speaking. The throne is flanked by two gold lion heads and draped with a leopard-print cloth. On either side stand large painted deity statues with multiple arms, orange dhotis, green sashes, gold jewellery and crowns, holding staffs and lamps. Tall brass oil lamps stand at the edges and a red carpet covers the floor. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long-ish swept-back dark hair, saffron robes and a garland, which fit the page's reference to a discourse. Setting and dress suggest a satsang or discourse.
