A seated man in a red-orange robe and orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with eyes closed and a broad smile, a red bindi and white forehead marks on his brow. He wears a long gold bead necklace, rudraksha-style beads, gold earrings and bangles, and rests one hand on a dark book or tablet. Behind him a painted red deity figure holds a staff and bell. A microphone is clipped near his face, indicating a discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces, orange shawl and ornate throne cues.
