A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair and a full beard sits before a large gold repoussé backrest with fan-like scalloped panels, in front of a red cushion. He wears an orange-brown saffron wrap draped over his shoulders, a dark beaded rudraksha mala across his chest, a thin gold chain at his neck, and a dark vertical tilak mark with white markings on his forehead. A microphone on a boom stand is near his face. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, based on the long swept-back hair, saffron wrap, rudraksha mala and ornate gold throne backdrop; the appearance cues are reasonably distinctive. A gold-framed decorative panel is visible at left.
