A man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a tall arched back carved in floral and scroll patterns, set against deep maroon velvet drapes. He wears a rust-orange (saffron) cloth wrap over the torso, a long tiered rudraksha mala with a large gold ceremonial necklace and jewelled pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and gold hoop earrings. A white vertical tilak and red dot mark his forehead, and a small headset microphone is clipped near his face. His bare feet rest on a tiger-skin rug draped over the gold throne platform, and he rests one hand on the armrest while gesturing with the other, appearing to speak to an audience. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace.
