A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions speaks into a microphone while raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a leopard-print turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, a multi-strand garland of white, yellow, red and green flowers, a heavy gold necklace and pendant, and a rust-brown dhoti with a rust-brown shawl over his shoulder. He wears gold armlets and red-and-gold wrist threads. Appearance-based cues of Swamiji (probable) are a long-haired leopard-print turban, ornate gold ceremonial jewellery and a saffron-brown robe on an ornate throne; he is seated on a throne as the discourse speaker. Behind him a gold-embossed backdrop, a golden lion statue at right and a red curtain frame the scene.
