A smiling man with long dark hair and a full dark beard sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, speaking into a microphone on stage. He wears a rust-orange saffron-toned wrap, a white and red flower garland, layered gold necklaces, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, plus gold armlets and bangles. A white tilak with a red dot marks his forehead. His right hand rests on the armrest and he holds a small framed photograph on a side table. Behind him stands a gold trident-shaped ornament and a golden kalasha-like finial against a red backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha and ceremonial gold cues match the Swamiji presentation, and he is seated on a peetha throne while giving a discourse.
