A bearded man in a rust-brown turban and matching brown robe sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, a pink flower garland around his neck and a heavy gold necklace with a rudraksha mala. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears distinctive ceremonial cues, including the turban, layered rudraksha and gold necklaces and ornate adornments, and sits as the focal speaker on the peetha. Behind him stands a gold-framed deity murti with a crown, flanked by a yellow drape and red curtains. Potted green plants, brass oil lamps and a microphone stand flank the throne, with a cup of tea on a small wooden stool at left.
