A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne before a microphone, wearing an orange saffron shawl with gold borders and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace of gold beads. He has a white vertical tilak on his forehead with a red dot at the centre, and his hair is swept back. A gold-framed throne backrest with floral carving and a deep red cushioned back surround him. Probable Swamiji: the saffron and gold garments, swept-back hair, gold bead garland and throne match the presentation, though the face is not used for identification.
