A seated man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a golden-yellow border sits barefoot on a gold-embossed throne draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace over rudraksha malas, gold hoop earrings, a white tripundra with a red kumkum dot, and a ring. His left hand rests at his chin and he wears a headset microphone. Behind him is a tiered backdrop of marigold, rose and yellow flower garlands arranged in arches, with a red velvet cushion and a desk telephone beside him. Several visible cues match the Swamiji (probable) profile: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, seated as a speaker on a ceremonial throne.
