A man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne in front of a red draped backdrop, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold-edged fold, a red tilak on his forehead, a rust-brown robe, a gold chain with a large gold pendant, and a long garland of white and pink flowers around his neck. He raises his right index finger while smiling, and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Swamiji (probable): long-established presentation cues of a turban, saffron-toned robe, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha-style ceremonial dress, seated as the speaker of a discourse.
