A seated man in orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold upholstered throne with black carved wooden armrests and a leopard-print shawl draped over his shoulders and lap. He wears a red bindi, long dark hair, and a necklace of gold-toned beads, and raises one hand in blessing toward the audience. A microphone on a stand stands beside him. Behind the throne, a large painted backdrop of a snowy mountain under a pale sky serves as the stage set. Marigold and flower garlands are arranged at the base of the stage, and a small white table holds a water bottle and a brass vessel. The image is a photograph of a stage event. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha-style gold necklace and a leopard shawl, seated on a throne, identified by these cues.
