A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne-like sofa in front of a heavily carved gold backdrop. He wears a sky-blue sleeveless garment with a matching blue shawl draped over one shoulder, multiple strands of rudraksha and white bead malas, a rudraksha pendant, beaded armlets and wrist bands, and a red bindi with white tilak on the forehead. His hands are clasped in his lap. A microphone rests on the armrest beside him, and blurred foreground figures and oil lamp flames appear at the lower edge. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron-free blue ceremonial dress, rudraksha malas and gold-backed throne are the qualifying cues for the central figure seated in the throne.
