A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions performs a namaste gesture, palms pressed together at chest level with eyes closed. He wears a pale pink-lavender dhoti and shawl edged with dark brown-gold border, a pinkish-tan turban with a red bindi on his forehead, and a long gold-bead mala around his neck. His feet rest on a red cloth on the gold platform. Behind him hangs a deep blue curtain, and a red fruit and brass plate sit at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long hair visible at the neck, turban, rudraksha-style gold beads and ceremonial gold throne, seated as an honoured speaker.
