A man seated on a dark brown leather throne-style armchair, wearing a rust-red robe and a long rudraksha-style bead mala draped over the shoulders, with a black turban-like head wrap and white markings on the forehead. He gestures with his raised right hand while speaking into a headset microphone. A carved wooden staff with a snake coil rests beside the chair. Seated people in white clothes with red shawls, and a woman in a white top with a red bindi, sit on the floor around him. A pink water bottle is visible at the lower centre. The room has plain cream walls and a wooden door. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the turban-like head wrap, rust-red robe, long bead mala and throne seating, presented as a speaker before devotees.
