A photograph of a stage set for a discourse. A seated man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala and ceremonial necklace sits on an ornate gold throne draped in garlands of white, yellow and purple flowers, speaking into a microphone stand. Beside him stands a gilded swan-shaped seat, also garlanded, holding a statue of a standing figure in red robes wearing a red headdress and a beaded necklace, with one hand raised. Two oil lamps flicker on a small stand near the throne. The backdrop is dark blue drapery, and an orange cloth covers the floor. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated in the speaker's place on the throne.
