A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with golden lion-head armrests and carved gold backrest, against a backdrop of vertical bamboo poles. He wears an orange-red turban, orange-red robes with a yellow-and-orange border, a long gold-toned bead garland around the neck and a small headset microphone. He sits cross-legged with bare feet, palms raised with fingers spread in a blessing gesture, smiling. A walking staff with a carved top leans against the right side of the throne. Appearance cues include a turban, saffron-orange robes and a gold garland; swamiji identity is Swamiji (probable) based on these cues.
