A photograph of a seated man in a yellow-orange robe speaking from an ornate gold throne with carved gold backrest and armrests, with a gold umbrella canopy above. He has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and raises his right hand in a gesture while smiling. Two gold lamps stand beside the throne. Seated devotees in the foreground face the stage, and a painted temple backdrop with stone pillars and arches stands behind. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne and saffron-yellow robe with rudraksha mala are the cues, and he is seated on the stage as the speaker. Other visible people are in the foreground, partially visible, including one bald man in white.
