A smiling man seated on an ornate silver throne with intricate floral and scrollwork carvings and a lion-shaped armrest, against a gold-and-silver backdrop. He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament, a rust-orange robe with a gold border, multiple rudraksha malas, a large gold ceremonial necklace with a temple-shaped pendant, and rudraksha bracelets. Long dark hair falls behind him and he sits on a leopard-print cushion with bare feet. A silver staff stands beside the throne and a microphone is visible at right. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable): long hair, orange turban and robe, rudraksha malas and gold necklace, seated on a throne in a discourse setting. A small framed photograph sits on a side table at left.
