A smiling man seated on an ornate golden throne with an intricately carved gilded backrest and a golden lion-head armrest in the foreground. He wears a rust-red turban with a jewelled ornament and a red dot on his forehead, a red-orange shawl draped over one shoulder, and a long necklace of rudraksha beads. A small microphone is attached near his face. Behind him hang red drapes and strings of orange marigold garlands. The description is an appearance-based probable identification of Swamiji seated on the throne, with the qualifying cues being the turban with jewelled ornament, the saffron-red clothing, and the rudraksha mala.
