A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a stage, speaking with his hands raised in a gesture of explanation. He wears a blue draped garment with a cream border, a long dark rudraksha mala, and a red bindi, and is smiling. Behind him hangs a red banner with large gold lettering reading 'Sutras' and a yellow yoga figure. A footstool with red cushion, a bouquet of red roses and white flowers, a water bottle and a microphone stand are visible. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate throne and stage presence match the cues for the Paramashivam, seated as a speaker at a Yoga Sutras session.
