A bearded man in a tall black turban sits centred on an ornate gold throne with a repoussé floral back, flanked by polished silver lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion. He wears rust-red saffron robes draped over one shoulder, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold chain and bangle-like rudraksha armbands, with a white and red forehead marking. He sits with arms spread along the armrests and smiles toward the camera. Hanging brass bells and green cords frame the throne on either side. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears a turban, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold, and is seated on a throne in the context of a presidential address.
