A bearded man with long dark hair sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, beneath a red canopy trimmed with colourful tassels. He wears a rust-orange wrap over bare shoulders, a red tilak on his forehead and a red thread on his wrist, with a small microphone clipped near his lap. He rests one hand at his chin. Around him are brass and gold lion sculptures, a gold trident-like staff, brass oil lamps with yellow marigold garlands, a brass kalasha-style vessel, and a purple silk cloth draped across his lap. The setting is a carved temple-style stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a beard, a rust-orange wrap and a throne, which are distinctive presentation cues.
