A seated man in an ornate brown leather chair with carved wooden armrests and scrollwork on the backrest. He wears a rust-orange and saffron draped garment, layered beaded brown necklaces with a large gold ceremonial pendant, and a purple beaded wristband. He has long dark hair swept back, white ash markings with a red kumkum dot on his forehead, and a small clip-on microphone at his cheek. He rests one finger against his lips in a hushing gesture. Blurred figures in white and orange sit in the background beside red draped tables. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and ceremonial gold pendant suggest the presence of a spiritual leader seated on a throne.
