A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved gilt panels and red zebra-striped cushions, set against a lime-green backdrop with a pink lotus motif and red and white flower garlands. He wears a saffron-yellow robe draped over one shoulder, long swept-back hair and a red bindi with a white tilak on his forehead. Both palms are raised toward the audience in a blessing gesture while he smiles. A small table with fruit sits at the right edge. The probable Swamiji cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial throne, with the figure seated in a discourse setting.
