A seated man in a maroon-red robe and draped wrap sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion and mythical-bird motifs, flanked by golden lion heads and leopard-print cushions. He wears long dark-brown rudraksha-style beaded strands and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, plus gold armlets and a red bindi. His hands rest together on his lap, a small open book sits on a folding book stand before him, and a microphone stands at the right. Behind him are gold-embossed panels and red curtains. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues are the long swept-back hair, rudraksha strands, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-red robes on a throne, so the seated discourse-giver fits that presentation, though his face is not used for identification.
