A long-haired man in white and gold robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold backrest and red tiger-striped cushions, framed by rainbow-coloured garlands of yellow, red, green and purple flowers. He wears a gold necklace of multiple strands and a red bindi, gesturing with one hand while speaking into a microphone on a silver stand. A silver oil lamp burns beside him and a silver bowl of offerings sits at the bottom of the frame. Appearance cues are distinctive (long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces, ornate throne setting) and the page names Swamiji at this event, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person on a dais giving a discourse.
