A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe speaks into a black microphone on a stand, smiling. He wears a red bindi, a rudraksha-style brown bead mala and a heavy gold pendant necklace, a bracelet on one wrist, and gold earrings. He sits on a large ornate gold throne carved with scrolls and bird-like motifs, flanked by gold lion figures and leopard-print cushions. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a saffron robe, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold ornaments.
