A seated man in a cream-coloured turban with a jewelled brooch and a red bindi on his forehead sits before an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a deep red cushion. He wears a maroon silk garment with gold border and floral gold patterning, a thick multi-strand rudraksha mala across his chest, and rudraksha bracelets on his upper arms and wrists. A small earpiece microphone is visible near his ear. He is smiling and looking to one side. Appearance cues including the turban, rudraksha malas, maroon and gold attire and ornate throne make him a probable Swamiji, shown as a sitting person of honour in the photograph.
