A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, a red tilak on his forehead and a gold necklace, speaks into a microphone while seated on a white-draped throne-like chair on a red-carpeted stage. His right hand is raised in a gesture of teaching. Behind him hangs a white banner with a black-and-white portrait of a man in a white turban and a large banner headline reading Ashtavakra Gita. Orange and yellow flower arrangements flank the stage. Swamiji (probable): the speaker's long hair, saffron robe and gold necklace match the appearance cues, and the banner names Paramahamsa Sri Nithyananda on the sign, so he is treated as a probable in-person candidate; he is delivering a discourse.
