A man seated on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a carved arched back, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold bead necklace and a black wristwatch. He wears a white vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead, a small earring and a lapel microphone, and smiles while raising one hand in a blessing gesture. Two long garlands of pink, yellow and white flowers hang across his body, with red flowers at the ends. A striped tiger-print cloth covers the seat below. The appearance matches the probable Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style gold beads and a ceremonial garland, so he is described here as Swamiji (probable).
