A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver-framed bench, smiling and holding a handheld microphone. He wears a rust-brown shawl draped over bare shoulders, a gold necklace and a white forehead mark. Behind him a bronze Nataraja dancing Shiva statue stands in front of a red wall, and a leopard-print cushion lies at his side. Seated devotees in rust and orange clothing face him from the foreground, and a steel bowl is held nearby. The setting appears to be a courtyard session. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a rust-brown shawl, speaking at the front of the gathering.
