A seated figure with long, dark, swept-back hair and a white forehead marking with a dark bindi sits before an ornate gold repoussé throne with a red-cushioned seat. He wears a maroon and gold-bordered garment, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, multiple gold bangles and armlets, and a small mala-style bead bracelet. He smiles with eyes half-closed and raises both palms toward a clip-on microphone on a boom, appearing to speak in a discourse or satsang. Swamiji (probable) is shown in an appearance-based label given the saffron-and-gold ceremonial clothing, ornate jewellery and long hair. Gold tassels and a red and gold backdrop frame the scene.
