A man seated on an ornate gold-trimmed red velvet throne, eyes closed and smiling, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a red turban with a small red bindi on the forehead, a red shawl draped over the shoulders, a white pearl necklace and long gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair falling behind, the red-and-gold ceremonial dress, the rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and the throne setting are consistent with the page's subject, though the face is not used to identify him. A large red-cushioned throne with gold carved frame fills the background.
