A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and brown leather upholstery. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a leopard-print garment over the chest, a thick rudraksha mala and a red bindi, and holds a tablet with a stylus while speaking into a headset microphone. Behind him stands a tall golden ceremonial staff. The blurred audience in white clothing fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads, so he is identified as Swamiji by appearance cues rather than face.
