A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne raises his right index finger while speaking, smiling. He wears an orange-red turban with a gold brooch, a red tilak on his forehead, a saffron-red shawl over the shoulder, a long gold necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a leopard-print waistcloth. A silver trident with serpent-head tines stands at right beside a gold lion-form armrest, and a red tiger-striped cushion is in front. A microphone is clipped to his ear. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, identified only by appearance cues: the turban, saffron-orange ceremonial dress and gold adornments. The setting is a discourse stage backdrop.
