A man seated on a large golden lotus-petal throne with a red cushion, wearing a white and red floral garland, a rudraksha-style mala and a red-and-orange shawl over his shoulder, with a vermilion mark on his forehead, speaking into a microphone. Behind him, a golden canopy with multicoloured tassels hangs above, and a red-curtained shrine holds a large deity murti with a gold crown, jewelled ornaments and a green-and-red flower garland, flanked by brass oil lamps. Strings of coloured lights decorate the upper left. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker has a long-haired, bearded appearance and wears a garland, mala and saffron-toned shawl while seated on the ceremonial throne.
