A seated man in an ornate silver-and-leopard-print throne speaks into a microphone against a red curtain. He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange shawl draped over one shoulder and body, a gold chain necklace and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, with a vertical mark on his forehead. His bare feet rest on the floor and his hands are open toward the audience. Beside him on a small silver stand are two candle-style glass holders with printed portrait photos of a bearded man in orange. Behind him is an elaborate silver carved backrest and a silver staff. Swamiji (probable): the orange robes, long hair under the turban, gold necklace and mala fit the ceremonial presentation, so this is a discourse setting.
