A figure in an orange-red saffron garment and a long rudraksha mala with ornate gold necklace sits on a large brown leather throne-style armchair with carved wooden trim, raising one index finger while speaking into a headset microphone. He has long, swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on the forehead, and a pink flower tucked in his hair. Behind him a seated audience in orange, white and colourful clothing listens, and a woman in the foreground photographs with a camera. A stand microphone is at left. Probable Swamiji (in-person candidate): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, seated as a speaker addressing the seated audience.
