A photograph of a smiling bearded man in an orange-saffron robe seated on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet cushion, holding a walking staff with both hands. He wears a shawl draped over one shoulder and a small microphone clipped near his face. Silver lion-like armrests flank the throne. A small table with a laptop and papers sits at lower left, and a gold-bordered cloth lies beside it. Behind him, a seated audience of mostly women and some men in saris, salwar and shirts fills rows of chairs under a white draped backdrop, with a pink screen at upper left. a person (identity from appearance cues: long swept hair, saffron robes and ceremonial throne seating, unconfirmed).
