A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate silver throne with intricate repoussé carving and a swan-like carved armrest, in front of a red curtain. He wears a dark dreadlocked turban wrapped with rudraksha beads, a vertical tilak on his forehead, a saffron-orange shawl, a gold pendant necklace, and a long multi-strand rudraksha mala. A black microphone on a stand is in front of him. Swamiji (probable): the turban, rudraksha malas, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace are distinctive presentation cues, so this is recorded as an in-person candidate with uncertain identity. A silver ceremonial staff stands at the left edge of the frame.
