A smiling man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne decorated with bands of yellow and red flowers and green leaves. He wears a white turban with a red bindi, white dhoti-style cloth with gold edging, and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. His hands are clasped in his lap, and a microphone stand stands beside him. Behind him hang a teal cloth, red and gold drapes, and brass oil lamps. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, white turban, gold necklace and ornate throne are visible cues for the person being honoured; the image shows a seated ceremonial figure rather than a crowd.
