A smiling man seated on a red velvet throne with a gold scalloped back, speaking into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with gold and jewelled ornaments and a feather, a rust-orange robe, a gold waist belt, a gold necklace, and a long garland of pink and white flowers. A rudraksha mala is on one wrist, and his other hand is raised in an open gesture. Dark foliage fills the blurred background. Appearance-based identification is probable for Swamiji (probable), seated in a teaching role, based on the turban, ornate gold and saffron-toned clothing and rudraksha cues.
