A man with long dark hair piled high and a red bindi sits on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests, backed by a large floral arch of yellow marigolds, white flowers and red roses with green leaves, against a gold wall. He wears a rust-red robe, a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, gold bangles and a red and white flower garland, and smiles while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and a rust-coloured robe on a throne, with a visibly distinctive presentation; the identification is based only on these appearance cues.
