A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair sits cross-legged on a plush maroon throne in front of an ornate gold carved chair decorated with a flower garland. He wears an orange-saffron robe and shawl, a rudraksha mala draped over his chest, and a red bindi on his forehead, and holds a gold ceremonial staff in his right hand. Behind him a large printed portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red forehead mark. Appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas suggest Swamiji (probable) seated on a throne as the speaker, with a red-lidded box and offerings beside him.
