A seated speaker sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head armrests against deep red velvet drapes. The person wears an orange saffron wrap, a long red and green garland, gold necklaces, bangles and armlets, and a red bindi on the forehead, smiling with hands clasped. A tiger-striped cloth covers the dais, and a microphone is attached near the face. A rudraksha-style mala and a brown cushion with a small emblem sit beside the throne. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a discourse setting, given the long dark hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments.
