A smiling man with eyes closed sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with carved floral and peacock motifs and a leopard-print seat cover. He wears a rust-orange turban with a vertical tilak on the forehead, a rust-orange draped garment with gold border, a bare upper torso, and necklaces with gold pendants and rudraksha malas. He gestures with his right arm resting on a silver lion-armrest. A microphone on a stand is in front of him, with a red curtain behind and a small framed portrait on a side table. Probable Swamiji seated on the throne, wearing distinctive saffron-orange turban and ornate gold necklaces.
