A smiling bearded man with a white tripundra and red dot on his forehead sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-brown robe, a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a rudraksha mala, gold bracelets, and a pink and white flower garland. A microphone stands nearby. Behind him are golden deity murti of a seated goddess with a child, a golden lamp stand, potted plants, and yellow and red textile banners printed with elephants. Two dark pots and a golden kalasha-like vessel appear in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne in the centre, a bearded man with long swept-back hair and gold jewellery, and the appearance cues are distinctive enough to attribute.
