A man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver and gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold brooch, a rust-orange cloth wrapped around the body, layered gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, rudraksha beads and orange beaded armbands. Swamiji (probable): he has a long beard and swept-back long hair, and the saffron clothing, turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments match the page's reference to Swamiji. Behind him is intricate silver carving and gold pillars, and a small lion-like figure sits beside the throne.
