A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate silver throne flanked by two silver lion sculptures, with a silver staff topped by a serpent-like finial standing at left. He wears a long rudraksha mala with a second mala across his chest, a red tilak on his forehead, gold earrings, and a red thread on his wrist, and he smiles while his hands rest in his lap. A microphone stand is at his right. On a small silver table in the foreground sits a silver kalasha-style vessel and a small framed photograph. The carved silver backdrop shows a deity panel. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas are the qualifying cues for the seated figure, a presiding teacher on a throne.
