A smiling bearded man in a red-orange robe and a matching orange turban decorated with gold ornaments sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, and bracelets, holds a silver staff upright in one hand, and raises the other hand in a blessing gesture. A microphone stands before him, and the backdrop is a silver embossed panel with yellow marigold garlands and orange-and-gold decorative drapery. A probable Swamiji appearance is seen in this in-person photograph: long swept-back hair, a crown-like turban, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha malas, seated on a throne during a talk.
