A smiling bearded man in a rust-orange turban decorated with gold and white ornaments sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-orange robe, a gold necklace, multiple rudraksha malas and a rudraksha armlet, and has a red tilak on his forehead. A thick garland of yellow marigolds and white flowers hangs across his chest. A microphone stands before him, and a silver tray with cups sits at his left. Behind him are silver carved panels and a gold-and-yellow embroidered backdrop. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a ceremonial speaking position with distinctive turban, orange robe and rudraksha cues.
