A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate white-and-red throne with carved lion-head armrests in front of a gold scrollwork backdrop. He wears a maroon-red turban with a gold ornament, a red tilak on his forehead and white sandalwood markings, a red-brown saffron-toned shawl, and a long gold beaded necklace with a large gold pendant. A white serpent-shaped staff rests beside him, a microphone stands at right, and a silver tray with a cup sits on a small table at left. The appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, ornate gold ornaments, saffron-toned robes, and rudraksha-style gold beads, with the seated figure presenting a discourse.
