A figure with long dark hair in an orange saffron robe and an orange-and-gold shawl sits on a white-draped chair, holding a microphone, with a rudraksha-style mala and ornate gold necklace visible; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on a white-covered throne.
