A smiling bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of a microphone. He wears a rust-brown ochre robe, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, a pink-and-white flower garland, and rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrists, with a white and red forehead mark. Behind him stand gilded metal deity statues of two figures, with green foliage, a brass kalasha-style lamp stand and a hanging brass bell. A photo of a seated figure in a small frame sits on the seat. Swamiji (probable) is the apparent central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, rudraksha, ochre robe and ornate gold necklace, and seated on a throne-like seat.
