A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, flanked by golden lion sculptures and a gilded carved backdrop with a red curtain. He wears a rust-orange turban with a feather and jewelled ornament, an orange-saffron robe, a long pink and white floral garland, a gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and gold bangles. His right hand is raised in an animated gesture while he speaks into a microphone on a stand. A small framed photograph sits on a side table beside him, and a white staff leans against the throne. Swamiji (probable): the long swept hair, ornate turban and saffron clothing with gold necklaces fit the cues, but the face is not used for identification.
