A bearded man seated cross-legged on a leopard-print throne cushion before ornate silver and gold decoration, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a rust-red turban with a vertical vermilion mark on the forehead, layered rudraksha malas, a gold chain, and a rust-red robe with gold border. His hands are clasped in his lap. Two small framed photographs stand on a silver side table beside him. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-red robe support the candidate; the throne and setting alone do not.
