A man seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions speaks into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange wrap with gold border, a gold necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. His right hand is open in an explanatory gesture and he smiles. Two small white cups with printed photos of a man in orange sit on a silver side table beside him, and a silver staff stands at the right. The ornate silver backdrop is carved with floral and scrollwork designs. Swamiji (probable): the saffron turban and wrap, gold necklace and seated throne setting are the visible cues for the presenter.
