A seated man in a maroon turban with a gold border and a crescent-moon ornament sits before an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like finials. He wears a rust-red robe, a long rudraksha mala, gold bangles and gold earrings, and a red bindi on his forehead. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while speaking into a headset microphone. Red cushioned seats flank him, and a painted figure appears at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold jewellery match the appearance cues, shown here as a seated speaker before a throne.
