A seated man in a maroon-red robe and matching turban-style head covering with a gold snake emblem sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved arch and lion figures, upholstered in red and dark tiger-striped fabric. He wears heavy garlands of red and white flowers, gold necklaces with a pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a small headset microphone near his ear, and he smiles while resting his hands on his lap and knee. Swamiji (probable): the cues of an ornate gold necklace, distinctive garlands, and a snake-emblem turban on a ceremonial throne fit a presiding teacher, so he is treated as a candidate for the depiction of the presiding teacher seated on the throne.
