A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped under a crown-like turban sits cross-legged on a red-and-silver ornate couch, speaking into a handheld microphone while gesturing with his left hand. He wears a maroon-red unstitched wrap and bare-shouldered robe, with white tripundra ash marks on his forehead and a red wrist thread. In front of him on a light wooden tray stand four brass bowls, with a small spoon resting in one. Behind him a dark bronze sculpture of a dancing deity and a red wall are visible, and a leopard-print cushion lies at his side. Appearance matches the page's cues for Swamiji (probable): dreadlocks, crown-like turban, saffron-red robes and ornate seating.
