A seated man in a rust-red ochre wrap and many layered rudraksha malas sits cross-legged before a large ornate gold sunburst backdrop with flame-like rays. He wears a leopard-print headband, white vibhuti marks and a red kumkum bindi, eyes closed, one hand open as he speaks into a microphone on a stand. Behind him are green lights, potted plants and brass lamps, and at left a silver bull statue and a trident. Other objects include a wicker basket at lower right and a small brass vessel at the bottom. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long hair gathered up, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace as cues.
