A bearded man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a silver ornament sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion-head arms, holding a long wooden staff and gesturing with his right hand while speaking into a headset microphone. A large audience sits before him, including women in pink, green and white saris and men in shirts. Above, a large screen shows a close-up of a bearded man. Probable Swamiji (probable): long dreadlocked hair swept into the turban, orange robes, and a rudraksha-style bracelet mark him as the seated speaker on the throne, addressing the satsang.
