A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and a red cushion speaks into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-brown robe, a thick gold necklace with a large gold pendant, and a long garland of pink and white flowers. He has a white tripundra with a red bindi on his forehead, long dark hair, and a full beard, and he gestures with an open hand while smiling. A small framed photo stands on a wooden side table at left, and a gold lion-headed armrest is visible at the bottom right. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-brown robe, long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and garland on a throne fit the candidate's presentation, so this is a satsang-style discourse.
