A seated figure sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a red velvet seat and back, under a golden canopy with hanging tassels. He wears orange saffron robes, a bare upper body with gold armlets, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and a red tilak on the forehead, his hands folded in his lap. A microphone stands before him. Brass oil lamps and bells flank the throne, with gilded ceremonial fans on either side and a floral offering at the base. The backdrop is a large printed temple-pillar image. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala.
