A man seated on an ornate white-and-red throne with a red velvet cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He has long dark hair with a gold crescent ornament, a leopard-print headband, a red tilak on his forehead with white markings, gold hoop earrings, multiple heavy gold bead necklaces, a gold waist belt, and a gold armlet. He wears a rust-orange shawl over bare shoulders. Behind him are red and pink floral garlands, a white carved serpent-shaped armrest and a small carved figure on the throne, and a red drape. Swamiji (probable): the crescent, leopard headband, long hair, gold ornaments and orange shawl are consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji as the speaker at this event; the photo shows a discourse setting.
