A seated man in a leopard-print turban and rust-red robe sits before an ornate gold-embossed throne with leopard-print cushions. He wears a long multicolour garland of white, yellow, green and red flowers, layered gold necklaces with a large pendant, bangles and armlets. A vibhuti/tilak mark is on his forehead, and he gestures with one hand near a head-mounted microphone on a stand. Swamiji (probable): the figure is a long-haired man in saffron-toned ceremonial dress with ornate gold jewellery, seated on a throne in a discourse setting. This is a photograph of one physical person.
