A seated man in an orange-brown ochre robe sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne with gold trim, a tiger-skin rug draped over the platform below him. He wears a heavy gold necklace of leaf-shaped links with a large gold pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead, and has a small headset microphone. Behind him is a tiered arch of red, pink, yellow, white and green flower garlands with a gold lion-face ornament at the top. He smiles and gazes to one side with hands clasped in his lap. Probable Swamiji seated on a flower-decorated throne, cues being the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange robe.
