A seated man with shoulder-length dark hair, white vibhuti stripes and a red bindi on his forehead, wearing wire-rimmed glasses and a small earpiece microphone. He wears a rust-red bare-shouldered wrap over his torso, an orange-beaded rudraksha-style mala and a long ceremonial necklace of large gold bead segments. He sits in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with floral scrollwork and a carved peacock-like motif, with a deep red velvet seat edge at left. Probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair, orange beaded mala, ornate gold necklace and a throne-like gilded backdrop, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.
