A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet back and cushion raises his right palm in a blessing gesture while speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears saffron-orange robes with maroon borders, a red and gold necklace, a rudraksha mala and a bead necklace, bangles and armlets, and a red bindi on his forehead. He sits cross-legged with his left hand resting on his lap. Brass oil lamps stand on golden pedestals on either side, with a red and orange curtain behind. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back dark hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, seated in the discourse setting.
