A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and a red velvet cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled brooch, a rust-orange robe, a heavy gold pendant and dark rudraksha-style beads, and fresh white and red flower garlands. Bangles in matching rust tones sit on his wrists. A small wooden stool beside him holds a framed portrait. Red drapes hang behind the gilded throne. Appearance-based probable identification: Swamiji (probable), seated in the honoured position with the cues of an orange turban, orange robes, gold necklace and rudraksha beads.
