A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions smiles broadly with eyes closed during a discourse. He wears an orange-brown robe, a bare right shoulder, multiple rudraksha and gold necklaces, a white and red floral garland, gold armbands, and a red tilak with white marks on his forehead. He has long dark hair swept back and a full beard, and speaks into a microphone on a stand. A gold trident and a gold kalasha-style finial stand beside him, and a white cup sits on a small wooden table. Red stage drapery and lights fill the background. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, orange robe, rudraksha and gold necklaces and throne seating are distinctive presentation cues, and he is the speaker at this satsang-style session.
