A seated man speaks into a microphone on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion, against a deep red curtain. He wears an orange-red turban with a silver crest, an orange-red robe, a long brown rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, plus gold bangles and an armband. He raises one hand in a gesture of teaching. A gold staff with a bird-topped finial rests beside him. Swamiji (probable): the turban, orange robe, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments fit the page's presentation; appearance is the basis for this label.
