A man stands barefoot on a red patterned rug in front of an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and red tiger-striped cushions. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi, an orange-saffron shawl with gold borders, a matching orange dhoti with gold edging, a heavy gold garland with a gold pendant, and gold bangles on his wrists and upper arms. He raises one hand in a mudra while speaking, with a microphone at his mouth. To his left stands a painted deity figure with a crown, gold jewellery and multiple arms holding a lotus, and gilded wooden doors stand behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): the saffron turban, rudraksha-free gold garland and ceremonial gold ornaments match the described teacher's presentation, but the face is not used for identification.
