A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a deep red velvet back and golden lion-shaped armrest supports, smiling and raising his right hand in a greeting or talk gesture. He wears a red and purple patterned turban with a small red bindi on his forehead, an orange-red draped robe with decorative border trim, and a long gold bead necklace; a small lapel microphone is clipped to his robe. He holds a golden staff or trident-topped sceptre in his left hand. Behind the throne is a gilded arched backdrop with a carved deity medallion above, and a tree-like printed backdrop. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange robe, gold necklace and ornate throne cues, seated as a speaker during a public talk.
