A man with long dark dreadlocks and a full beard sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions on a stage. He wears a rust-brown dhoti and a bare-chested upper body with brown rudraksha armbands, a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a gold pendant. He holds a string of white beads on his lap, and a tall gold staff stands beside the throne. Behind him are gilded deity figures and ornate gold pillars, with potted plants and a microphone stand nearby. A small steel cup sits on a side table. The appearance-based Swamiji (probable) label applies to this seated figure, given the long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace.
