A seated bare-chested man in orange-saffron dhoti and shawl sits on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold backrest and golden lion armrests. He wears a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, a bead headband, white ash markings and gold bangles. In front of him are several microphones from Indian news outlets. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long-appearing swept-back hair under a bead headband, ornate gold jewellery, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, and is seated on a throne facing press microphones.
