A man seated on a red cushioned chair before an ornate gold-leaf arched throne carved with lions and floral scrollwork, against dark maroon drapes. He wears an orange-saffron shawl over his bare shoulders, a long beaded gold-toned mala, a pendant necklace, gold armlets and a red bindi with a white forehead marking, and a small clip-on microphone is attached near his ear. He sits with a calm expression, and a gold-and-red cushion and a dark cloth are visible at the lower edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha-style beaded mala and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated on a throne-like seat.
