A smiling man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved, rounded back and red cushions. He wears a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with ceremonial gold tassels, and a red tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. His left hand rests open on his knee while the right is extended outward. Behind him hang white and gold beaded curtains, and a brass oil lamp stands at the left edge. A small orange towel lies across his lap. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ornate throne are the qualifying cues for the seated speaker.
