A seated man in a maroon-brown turban with a jewelled ornament and crescent emblem, wearing a brown-orange robe, a pale pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a gilded backrest and red cushions. He holds his arms outspread and smiles toward a microphone on a stand. A white carved wooden lectern stands at left, a gold staff rests at the left edge, and a red curtain fills the background. Cues for a probable Swamiji candidate include the turban, saffron-toned robe, garlands and ornate gold throne.
