A smiling man with long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a rust-red saffron-toned shawl over bare shoulders sits on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and gold lion-shaped armrests. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace and a red thread on his wrist, and rests his hands on his lap beside a white staff topped with a carved figure. A microphone stands at right in front of a gold-carved backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-toned shawl, gold necklace and ornate throne are the qualifying cues for the seated speaker.
