Swamiji (probable) seated in front of an ornate gold-leaf throne backdrop with repoussé floral and scroll patterns. He has long, swept-back black hair, a red bindi on his forehead and white ash markings, and wears a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders with a gold-bordered edge, along with a heavy multi-strand ceremonial gold necklace of large bead-like links. A thin dark mala is visible at the neck. He sits calmly facing forward with a composed expression, while a partial camera and microphone appear at the upper left edge of the frame.
