A man seated on an ornate gold throne with embossed floral and figural carvings behind him, raising both palms outward in a blessing gesture. He wears a sky-blue sleeveless top and matching draped shawl, several strands of rudraksha beads and a pearl-and-bead necklace, a rudraksha pendant, rudraksha wrist bands, and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. A lit oil lamp is held by a hand at the lower edge of the frame, and a microphone sits on the gold armrest. The figure has the appearance of the probable Swamiji, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold-throne setting, though the identification is uncertain.
