A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet back and carved lion-form arms, smiling and gesturing with his hands. He wears a rudraksha mala and a bangle on his right wrist, with a bare-shouldered orange wrap. Behind him a blue banner bears large Tamil lettering and a peacock-feather motif, and a brass lamp stands at right beside a painted deity portrait. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, orange turban, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate throne are the qualifying cues; he is presented as the speaker at a Tamil satsang.
