A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved, tiered backrest and lion-form armrests against a black draped backdrop. He wears a white and red flower garland with a red tassel, a red bindi, and a rudraksha-style mala, smiling with eyes closed while hands rest in his lap. Flower vases with orange and pink blooms stand on gold pedestals, and a microphone stands at his right. The figure is an appearance-based Swamiji (probable) candidate: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ceremonial gold-trimmed throne seating are visible cues, so he is treated as present in person.
