A seated man in a large dark dreadlocked turban wrapped with rudraksha beads, a red tilak on his forehead, and a dark beard, wearing a reddish-orange shawl draped over his bare shoulders and multiple heavy gold bead malas. He sits before an ornate silver repoussé backdrop with floral and scrollwork patterns, a microphone on a stand near him. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha, saffron-toned shawl and ceremonial gold malas match the presentation of the figure, seated in the central place of honour as a speaker.
