A man seated on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold lotus-petal backrest, smiling and looking to the side. He wears a maroon-red robe over bare shoulders, a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with a large gold pendant, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, gold earrings, and a red-brown tilak on his forehead. He holds a white flower-tipped staff in his right hand. Behind him hang red and white draped cloths, and a few devotees are partly visible at the edges of the frame. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklaces, and maroon-saffron robe on a throne match the cues for a presiding guru, so this is an in_person candidate, though the appearance is not decisive.
