A man with a tall, swept-back dark turban of hair and a white crescent ornament sits on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-red sleeveless top, a red-brown dhoti with gold border, a leopard-print waist sash, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold necklace, and red beaded armlets. He holds a rudraksha mala in his hands with eyes closed, appearing absorbed. Before him on a black platform sit a brass cup, a wooden mortar and pestle, a dark stone, herbs and grains on trays, and a golden figure of a standing deity holding a lamp. A microphone stand is at right and dense green foliage forms the background. Appearance-based candidate, matching cues: long swept-back hair, crown-like ornament, ornate clothing and rudraksha malas, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial ritual setting, making aushadha.
