A smiling man sits on a red velvet throne-like chair against a backdrop of flower garlands in red, yellow, white and purple. He wears a tall fan-pleated crimson turban with gold trim and a jewelled brooch, a red bindi, and a purple garment with a red shawl. Thick white and yellow flower garlands hang over his shoulders, with rudraksha malas and gold pendants at his chest and rudraksha bracelets on his wrist. A small headset microphone is attached near his mouth. The photo looks like it is from a Swamiji (probable) seated for a discourse or pada puja. The Swamiji cues are the long fan-pleated saffron-red turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha malas, and the garlanded throne.
