A smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a deep red velvet cushion. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti with gold borders, a bare upper body, an orange rudraksha mala and a heavy ceremonial gold bead necklace, gold armlets and a small headset microphone. His hands rest on the armrests and he sits on a tiger-skin cloth. Painted deity figures with gold ornaments frame the background. This is a Swamiji (probable) seated in the role of a speaker on the dais, with his distinctive saffron clothing, long hair and rudraksha and gold adornments visible.
