A man in a rust-red and maroon silk garment sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrolled backrest, hands clasped in his lap. He wears a white forehead mark with a red bindi, a small gold hoop earring, and a brown rudraksha-style bead mala across his chest; a small clip-on microphone is attached to his clothing. Behind him stand tall brass oil lamps (lamps are unlit in view) and a colourful painted backdrop with orange and gold deity-like forms. The setting suggests a stage satsang. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold throne fit the candidate's presentation, so he is recorded as in person.
