A seated man in rust-red and leopard-print cloth sits before an ornate gold repoussé backdrop, wearing a crescent of white sacred ash and a red bindi on his forehead, a gold chain at his chest and long garlands of pink lotus petals and white beads draped over his shoulders. A microphone on a thin stand is close to his mouth as he speaks, and his bare shoulder is visible. The scene is a satsang or discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and a full beard, rust-red robe, leopard-print shawl, gold ornaments and lotus garlands.
