A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with brown leather cushions and gold lion armrests, addressing a large audience in a bright hall. The figure wears a red sleeveless garment over a leopard-print top, layered garlands of white flowers and beads, gold bangles and a gold pendant, with long dark hair swept back, a crescent emblem on the head and a beard, one hand raised in a gesture. Seated and standing devotees fill the foreground and rows of audience behind, many in saris and white or patterned clothing. A pedestal with a golden staff stands to the left and a standing fan sits beside the throne. A digital clock and a screen showing faces are visible at the top. Appearance and throne suggest a person, though the identification is uncertain.
