A man seated on an ornate gold-trimmed brown leather throne with carved lion-head arms sits in a saffron-orange robe with a gold border. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a green bead necklace, a ceremonial gold pendant and a magenta orchid garland, with dark hair swept up, a red bindi and a head-mounted microphone. He is eyes closed, speaking, with one hand resting on a lion armrest and the other open in a gesture. A tall silver trident stands at left. Behind him a seated audience of devotees in saris and kurtas, one woman in orange in the foreground, fills a hall with purple and gold drapery. Watermarked archive photo of a discourse.
