A man in a red-brown shawl seated before an ornate gold repoussé throne-back raises his right hand while speaking into a headset microphone. He wears a rudraksha mala with large gold beads, an orange-brown rudraksha necklace, a white vertical forehead mark with a red bindi, long dark hair, small gold hoop earrings, eyeglasses and a gold wristwatch. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha and ceremonial gold necklaces, and red-orange ascetic clothing fit the candidate, though he is seen in a photo with a discourse setting. A gold-framed backdrop with string lights is behind him.
