A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved golden frame, palms pressed together in namaste before a microphone stand. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder and a long orange-saffron garment, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red-brown mark on his forehead; his feet are bare and rest on a gilded platform. Behind him a large backdrop shows painted temple-style figures, and golden oil lamps stand on either side. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial setting seated on a throne. A low gilded table holds a tray with fruit and flowers at the front of the stage.
