A bearded man in a brown turban with a gold-set ornament sits smiling on an ornate throne with leopard-print upholstery and gold lion arm supports. He wears layered gold and white floral garlands, a gold necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a rust-brown wrap. A microphone on a stand is near his face. Behind him hang a richly embroidered, jewelled backdrop in green, blue, red and orange and a deep red curtain. A tall gold staff stands at left. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a throne-like setting with turban, saffron-brown wrap and gold garlands, speaking into a microphone.
