A smiling man in a saffron-brown robe and a matching brown turban with a gold crescent ornament sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in front of a gold filigree backdrop. He wears heavy gold beaded necklaces, a gold pendant, a gold waist belt, a red thread on his wrist, and white ash markings with a red bindi on his forehead. His palms are raised in blessing, and a microphone stands before him. A silver staff with a serpent-like finial rests at the left, and silver lion-head armrest figures flank the seat. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron-brown ornate clothing, turban and gold necklaces match the appearance cues, and he is seated and speaking during a discourse.
