A smiling man with long dark matted hair piled high and a red-and-white vertical tilak mark on his forehead sits on a red cushioned seat in front of a floral backdrop of marigolds, red roses and white chrysanthemums. He wears a rust-brown robe over his shoulder, layered gold ceremonial necklaces, a gold pendant with a deity figure, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, and thick garlands of red and white flowers. He raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing while speaking into a black microphone on a stand. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair and saffron-brown ceremonial clothing with ornate gold necklaces and garlands identify the speaker as a presiding teacher seated for a satsang.
