A man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate cream upholstered throne with gilded carved wooden arms, against deep red velvet drapes. He wears an orange silk garment with gold and maroon borders over a bare chest, and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. A small headset microphone is attached near his ear. He holds a folded white sheet of paper in one hand, while his other hand rests on the beads, and he smiles with eyes lowered. A green sprig is visible at the left edge. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) profile through the swept-back hair, saffron silk, rudraksha mala and throne presentation, so the figure is labelled as probable in the description and marked as in_person.
