A photograph of a smiling bearded man seated on an ornate silver throne with floral and scroll carvings and leopard-print cushions, in front of a red curtain. He wears a rust-red robe with gold borders, multiple strands of rudraksha malas, rudraksha armbands, and a gold necklace; his hair is piled high in a dark topknot, and he has white and red forehead markings. His hands are clasped at his waist and he speaks into a microphone on a stand. A small framed photo stands on the silver side table beside him, and a silver staff rests against the throne. The swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, red-gold robe and ornate throne match the probable identity cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in the speaker's seat.
