A seated man smiles on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white. He wears an orange turban with a silver jewelled brooch, a cream embroidered sherwani, a red and gold-trimmed dhoti-style trouser, and a multi-strand rudraksha and bead necklace with square gold and white inserts over an orange shawl. A small red bindi is on his forehead and a headset microphone is visible near his face. His hands rest on the armrest. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: long swept-back hair, orange turban and shawl, ceremonial beaded rudraksha necklace; he sits in a throne setting as a seated honoured guest. A silver ceremonial staff stands at the left edge.
