A photograph of a single person seated on an ornate golden throne with a tall arched gilded backrest and carved lion-head armrests. The seated figure wears a rust-brown saffron-toned robe with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, a long beaded gold necklace of rudraksha-style beads, gold armbands and bangles, and a small red bindi with white forehead markings. Red tiger-striped cushions cover the seat, and gilded deity arms with bangles frame the edges. A small clip-on microphone is attached near the face. Swamiji (probable) is described by the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold-and-saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated in a discourse setting.
