A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a carved arched back and golden lion-head armrests, set against a decorated backdrop with painted deity figures at the edges. He wears a red and maroon turban with a fan-pleated top, a red bindi, a red saffron-toned cloth draped over the shoulder with gold border, a long rudraksha mala with a large bead cluster, gold armbands and a jeweled waist belt, and white ash markings on his forehead and arms. A small microphone is at his ear. His hands rest on his lap as he smiles toward the camera. Swamiji (probable): the figure is seated on a throne with a turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial saffron-red attire, a presentation consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
