A man in red sannyasi clothing sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet back and cushions, in a lotus-style seated posture. He wears a red turban with a small red bindi, a red sleeveless top with a draped red shawl, red trousers, a white pearl necklace, a long gold bead mala, a large gold pendant, and a beaded bracelet on his left arm. A black microphone on a stand is beside him. A gold deity murti medallion is mounted atop the throne back. The background is a soft blurred green backdrop. The man has long dark hair and a steady, calm expression, and his appearance with saffron-red ceremonial clothing, long hair, rudraksha-style beads and gold ornaments is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable).
