A man seated on a large tan leather throne-style chair before a microphone stand, smiling, with hands clasped in his lap and bare feet visible. He wears a red-orange turban with a small gold ornament, a red-orange and saffron shawl over bare shoulders, a bead mala of golden-brown beads at his neck, a bracelet on one wrist, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stand an ornate gold-carved pillar with figures and a brass oil lamp, and a dark blue backdrop with a golden panel. A water bottle sits at the lower right. The visible appearance is consistent with the probable Swamiji by several cues: turban, saffron-toned clothing, ornate neck beads and seated dais setting.
