A seated figure in a red-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, raising one index finger while speaking into a headset microphone. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, and a gold pendant at the neck, with bare feet resting on the floor. Behind him, a seated audience in orange, saffron and white clothing listens in a gilded hall, and a large screen shows the event. To the left stands a silver ceremonial staff, and to the right is a table with marigold garlands. Swamiji (probable) is the central speaker on the throne, identified by his long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron robe and gold ornaments.
