A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne speaks into a small clip-on microphone held near his face. He wears an orange saffron robe with a maroon border draped over one shoulder, long swept-back black hair, a red bindi on his forehead, multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a large gold pendant at his chest, plus a beaded armlet and wrist malas. His left hand rests on his knee while his right hand gestures in mid-discourse. Behind him a gold-carved backrest frames the seat. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold jewellery on a ceremonial throne, seated as the teacher.
