A man with long dreadlocks and a red vertical tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion-head armrests, speaking while gesturing with his left hand. He wears a rust-red wrap over bare shoulders, a gold ceremonial necklace, multiple rudraksha malas and a leopard-print belt, and holds a white staff. Seated devotees in orange and white clothes line the hall, and a silver ceremonial staff stands at right. A wireless microphone is clipped near his ear. The appearance matches the probable Swamiji identity by long hair, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, so the person is labelled Swamiji (probable) in this description; no printed name appears in the image.
