A seated man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a raised cushioned seat before an orange-gold draped backdrop embroidered with mirror-like sparkles. He wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. A microphone stand stands in front, and a painted panel above him shows a shivalinga flanked by animal figures. Two flower vases with pink lilies and roses stand to either side, with ornate fabric banners hanging from poles. A small deity murti sits on a white-draped table at left. Seven or so seated listeners in the foreground, mostly seen from behind, face the speaker. Swamiji (probable) appears in appearance-based identification from the long hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace.
