A seated man in an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden backrest sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushion, holding a tall silver ceremonial staff with bells in his raised right hand. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long gold-bead rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace, with a red bindi on his forehead and a small head microphone. A metal bell and a brass-toned bowl sit beside him, and a red and gold backdrop with partial Tamil script is behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold beads and a gold throne fit the appearance cues for this presentation.
