A smiling bearded man in a rust-orange turban decorated with gold ornaments sits in a leopard-print chair beside a silver-toned ceremonial staff and a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders, multiple strands of rudraksha beads, a gold pendant and beaded armlets. Behind him are a deep red curtain and ornate silver-embossed panels. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate gold jewellery identify this figure as a probable candidate for Swamiji, seated and speaking to an audience.
