A seated man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl wears a heavy gold necklace over a rudraksha mala, with a red bindi and a thin headset microphone. He sits on a dark maroon velvet throne with gold lion-head armrests, a silver staff with a bird finial beside him, and a backdrop of multicolour garlands in red, orange, yellow, purple and green. Golden carved pillars stand at left. The lines of white and ochre tilak marks are visible on the forehead and arm. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated on the throne as the speaker.
