A seated man on a stage gestures with both hands raised beside his face, palms open, while smiling. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold crescent and ornament, a rust-brown robe edged with gold zari, a heavy gold necklace and multiple rudraksha malas, and gold bangles on his wrists. He sits on a dark cushioned seat flanked by two gold lion-head figures, with a large carved relief of a deity in orange-gold behind him and a potted green plant at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces are visible cues.
