A seated man on a carved wooden throne-style chair on a stage, with a microphone stand in front of him. He wears an orange-saffron silk garment draped over the body, a long orange-beaded rudraksha-style mala, gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a dark swept-up hairstyle with a yellow tilak and red bindi. He is bare-footed and smiling. Behind him hangs a large dark carved Nataraja-style dancing figure within a circular arch against cream drapery, and a red thermos sits on a small wooden side table at left. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and rudraksha mala as qualifying cues, seated as a teacher on stage.
