A smiling man with a full dark beard sits on a leopard-print throne cushion beside a gilded lion-head armrest, in front of a deep red drape and an ornate gold carved backdrop. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled brooch, a rust-orange sleeveless robe, and a long gold ceremonial necklace of carved beads with a large gold pendant at the chest. Long dark hair falls over his shoulder, and he wears orange armbands and bangles. A red tilak marks his forehead. A microphone stand is visible at right. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a throne-like setting with distinctive saffron-orange turban, robes and gold rudraksha-style necklace.
