A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, smiling with both palms raised toward the audience in a teaching gesture. He wears white ritual dress with a white wrap over the shoulder, a red and white beaded mala, rudraksha beads, a red pendant on a red cord, gold bangles and a red bindi, and has long dark hair swept back. A microphone stands before him, and a stand with notes sits on the left. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers hang on the throne at the top corners, with an orange cloth on the right and a temple-style backdrop behind. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, seated as the discourse speaker on the throne.
