A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair and a full black beard smiles at the camera. He wears a rust-orange shawl draped over bare shoulders and a dark braided rudraksha-style mala around his neck, with a red tilak on his forehead. He sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red velvet cushion, hands clasped over his knee. In the blurred foreground a microphone sits on a purple and gold brocade table beside a brass oil lamp and gold ritual object. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange shawl, rudraksha mala and throne mark him as the presiding speaker.
