A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a golden-brown tiger-skin mat atop a throne-like seat flanked by two gilded lion sculptures. He wears a long ceremonial gold necklace, rudraksha-style beads, gold armlets and bangles, a pink and white flower garland, and a red bindi. A headset microphone is attached near his ear, and his hands rest on maroon cushions. Behind him a large arch of marigolds and roses arranges yellow, red, pink, white, green and purple blooms in rainbow bands. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
