A smiling bearded man with long dark hair piled into a high knot sits cross-legged on a tiger-striped cushion on a stage. He wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled brooch, a rust-orange shawl over a leopard-print cloth, layered gold necklaces, multiple rudraksha malas, and rudraksha armbands. He holds a small trident-tipped rod in one hand and a fan-like whisk in the other. The blurred background shows a few seated audience members. The figure has distinctive presentation cues including ornate gold jewellery, saffron-orange clothing and a turban, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) seated on stage as the speaker.
