A smiling bearded man with long dreadlocked hair piled high under a rust-orange turban with a jeweled brooch sits on a golden chair with an ornate gold armrest shaped like an animal's head. He wears a rust-orange shawl, a bare shoulder, multiple gold necklaces, rudraksha beads, red and gold bangles and a leopard-print garment at the waist. A tall gold staff stands to the right. Behind him a blurred crowd of devotees in white sits before a lavender backdrop. Wearing the orange turban, flowing dreadlocks, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, this seated figure is Swamiji (probable) in an in-person stage setting.
