A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits smiling on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a carved golden backrest and red cushions. He wears a white dhoti with a gold border and a white shawl, and a long rudraksha mala hangs over his chest. A microphone stands beside him. Behind him is a painted backdrop of a stone temple carving and green foliage, with a red curtain and a gold-bordered orange cloth hanging at upper right. Flowers in orange and yellow sit at left beside a water bottle. Cues here are the long hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold throne, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji seated in person. Ritual-style setting suggests a discourse on a platform.
