A man sits cross-legged in front of an ornate gold repoussé backdrop, speaking into a black microphone on a gooseneck stand. He wears a saffron-orange shawl draped over the shoulder, edged with a gold border, and a long gold-bead necklace with a gold Shiva linga-style pendant set with stones. He also wears a white pearl mala with a rudraksha bead, a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist, and a red kumkum dot on his forehead with white vibhuti lines. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated as a discourse speaker. Hands rest in the lower frame, and the photo is a close-up of one person.
