A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and layered gold-toned beaded necklaces sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste at a microphone on a gilded throne-like dais with red velvet cushions. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders, and a red tilak marks the forehead. A small open book rests on a stand before him, with a tambourine-like instrument at the left of the platform. Behind him hangs a curtain of beaded strands in white and orange. Green cables run along the stage, and a partially visible person in white sits at the lower right edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long hair and ornate necklaces match the presentation cues, and the figure sits in a seat of honour, so the identification is appearance-based only.
