A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-shouldered, sits cross-legged on a red velvet throne before an ornate gold arched backdrop with carved lions. He wears multiple strands of orange rudraksha beads with gold bead necklaces and gold bangles, a red bindi on his forehead and gold hoop earrings, with a lapel microphone clipped on. His palms are pressed together in namaste and his eyes are closed. A tiger-striped skin covers the platform beneath him. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated in the honoured position.
