A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large embossed gold backrest against red drapery, smiling and pointing with his right hand while speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a red-maroon turban with a jewelled ornament and feather, a sleeveless red-maroon kurta, heavy gold necklaces including a large gold pendant, and a round brooch on his chest. His bare feet are visible, and a red thread is tied on his left wrist. A small table at left holds a cup with a printed portrait. Swamiji (probable): the person in the turban, red robes and gold ornaments on the throne is a candidate for Swamiji, based on the distinctive crown-like turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron-red clothing with the throne setting.
