A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a red velvet cushion and carved lion-head armrests. He wears a long rudraksha mala of brown beads over his chest, a red tilak on his forehead, and has his long dark hair swept back. His hands rest in his lap and he gazes to the side while a microphone on a stand is positioned before him. Behind him stands a golden oil lamp with a lit flame and an arrangement of orange flowers sits to the right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala on a golden throne, a cluster of cues consistent with the page's Swamiji claim, so this is an in-person candidate.
