A man stands on a raised stage before a large carved relief of a multi-armed seated deity, with a golden lion sculpture at his feet. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold crown ornament, a brown robe with gold border, layered gold necklaces, rudraksha beads and gold bangles, and a white tilak on his forehead. He holds a tall silver trident staff in his right hand and extends his left hand palm-up in gesture. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair under a turban, ornate gold ceremonial jewellery and saffron-brown clothing with rudraksha mala, matching the discourse context, so this is a probable in-person appearance.
