A smiling man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet seat and carved gold arch. He wears a crimson turban with a jewelled brooch, a red-and-gold draped robe, layered gold necklaces, gold armbands and a red bindi, and a small headset microphone is clipped near his face. His right hand rests on his knee. Brass oil lamps with rooster finials stand beside him, and a red-draped backdrop with a small framed picture is at left. Swamiji (probable): the crimson turban, layered gold necklaces and draped red robe match the page's Swamiji claim, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate seated in person.
