A man with long swept-back dark hair, a full beard and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gilt panels and a red cushion, speaking animatedly with both hands open in front of a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange shawl over an orange-red garment and a rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold necklace. A tall gilt ceremonial staff stands beside the throne, a brass oil lamp is at right, and red drapery forms the backdrop. Visible cues fit a person, seated as a discourse speaker.
