A man seated in an ornate cream and gold upholstered armchair with carved wooden arms and legs, in front of deep red velvet drapes with pink flowers. He wears a turquoise blue draped garment with gold-patterned border, a white beaded necklace, a long rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. His hair is swept back, and he rests one arm on the armrest while smiling and looking to the side. A white shaggy rug lies on the floor and a water bottle sits beside the chair. The setting suggests a seated satsang or discourse on stage. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues include swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold pendant and ornate blue robe while seated on a throne-like chair.
