A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing an orange-red saffron robe and an orange shawl with a rudraksha-style mala. Behind him stands a shrine with carved stone pillars, golden arched frame, strings of red and yellow marigold garlands, a golden deity murti with trident-like staff and a kalasha, and brass oil lamps. A microphone stand is at right, and an orange cloth hangs from a pole. The setting suggests a discourse in a temple-style hall. The seated man has distinctive long hair and saffron attire with ornate gold throne, supporting a probable identity as a person giving a discourse.
