A smiling man sits on a dark red cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold-leaf throne with carved lion-head armrests. He wears an orange-brown robe draped over one shoulder, a long mala of gold-coloured beads with a tassel-like cord, a small red bindi, white vertical markings on the forehead, a microphone headset, and gold hoop earrings with a gold bangle on his wrist. Strings of warm bokeh lights glow in the dark background, and his left arm rests on the armrest. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back long hair, orange robe and ornate gold mala are the qualifying cues, and this is a photograph of a person seated on a throne.
