A seated man on an ornate cream and gold upholstered throne with gilded carved wooden arms, on a white shaggy rug in front of dark red drapes. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder with gold borders, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace of beaded links, a gold bracelet, gold earrings, a gold beaded headband and a red kumkum bindi, and a small microphone is at his face. His hands rest folded in his lap and his legs are crossed. Both candidate cues are present: swept-back hair under a gold headpiece, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, so this is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) seated in a discourse setting.
