A bearded man in an orange-red saffron robe and matching turban sits on an ornate silver throne upholstered in red, with a crescent moon ornament on his head and a small red tilak on his forehead. He wears a headset microphone and holds a long wooden staff across one knee while gesturing with his right hand toward a seated audience. Behind him a large screen shows a blurred crowd. Rows of seated devotees, many women in saris and salwar kameez, fill a hall; a silver ceremonial staff stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, orange turban, crescent ornament and staff on a throne match the cues for Paramahamsa Nithyananda, shown in a discourse setting.
