A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and gold peacock-style back panels, set against a temple-tower backdrop. He wears a rust-orange robe with a yellow-gold border, a rudraksha mala, a large gold pendant necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and a red bindi with white tripundra markings on his forehead. He smiles and raises one hand in a gesture of address while the other rests on his lap. A golden ceremonial staff with a red finial stands to the left, a leopard-print cushion and tiger skin cover the seat, and a microphone stand is on the right. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace match his appearance, and he is seated in a teaching role.
