A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a stage in a golden-decorated hall. He wears a rust-red robe over a red-and-gold wrap, a crown-like ornate piece is absent, long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and he has a white and pink flower garland and multiple gold necklaces and bangles. He sits cross-legged with hands folded, smiling toward the audience, with a microphone stand at right. Behind him are golden floral carvings and a gilded backdrop with a deity relief. A golden trident stands at left beside potted green plants and a clay pot, and a small wooden stool with a red cup sits in front. Golden leafy decorations hang overhead. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style red garb and gold ornaments, seated on a throne in satsang setting.
