A seated man in a rust-orange turban and orange-red robe sits cross-legged on a red velvet-covered dais before an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests and a tiered gilt back. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold chain necklace with a medallion, and a large pink and white flower garland, with orange bands on his upper arms. A microphone stands at his right and a small wooden stool with a framed picture sits at his left. Brass lamps flank the stage against red drapery, with a painted deity mural with raised hands above. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair is not visible, but his turban, rudraksha mala, saffron robes and gold ornaments match the candidate cues, so he is seated in the throne as the speaker.
