A man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a tall arched gilt backrest carved with scrolling foliage and lion figures, draped over a striped tiger-skin cloth on a red-upholstered platform. He wears an orange-saffron robe with yellow borders, a heavy gold garland with a gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and earrings, with a red bindi on his forehead. He smiles and gestures with both hands while speaking into a headset microphone. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long swept-back dark hair and ornate gold regalia on a throne match the description cues.
