A seated man in a rust-brown turban and matching brown saffron-toned robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion. He wears layered garlands of red and pink flowers with gold beads, a thick brown rudraksha mala, and a large gold ceremonial pendant, plus gold bangles and earrings. A small red tilak marks his forehead, and a microphone is clipped near his face as he smiles and gestures with his right hand open. A silver staff with a twisted shaft stands beside the throne, and a dark red curtain and green leaves fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears a turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces typical of the presentation described on this page.
