A bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak with a central mark on his forehead speaks into a microphone while holding a small white card. He wears an orange-brown wrap, layers of brown rudraksha mala beads, a gold chain, a gold earring and rudraksha bracelets on his upper arms and wrists. Behind him is a dense arrangement of red roses, yellow and white marigolds, and purple flowers in concentric arches, with green leaves at the upper left. The scene suggests a satsang discourse, with a gold-coloured deity murti visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, an orange wrap and ornate gold jewellery, consistent with a discourse setting.
