A seated man in a maroon and gold turban with a red bindi on his forehead sits before an ornate gold repoussé throne with carved floral and bird motifs. He wears a maroon and gold-bordered shawl draped over the shoulders, a double-stranded rudraksha-style mala of brown beads across his chest, a gold necklace, and gold armlets with white ash markings on the arms. The image appears to be a photograph of a discourse setting, with a small microphone visible near his face. Swamiji (probable): the appearance is consistent with the page's identification of the speaker, based on the turban, saffron-red ceremonial clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate throne.
