A seated man on an ornate gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions speaks during a discourse. He wears a cream-and-gold turban and a red dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl over his bare shoulder, plus a long beaded gold-and-amber mala and gold bangles. A small red bindi marks his forehead, and he smiles while extending his right hand toward the audience. Beside him is a gold-trimmed wooden table with a water bottle and a red-and-gold cushion. Behind is a large purple backdrop printed with a blue-toned deity face, next to a dark curtain. Swamiji (probable): the cues are the turban, saffron-red ceremonial clothing, long gold-and-amber mala and throne seating, so this is a candidate in person. No audience is visible.
