A bearded man seated on an ornate silver-and-gold throne beneath a golden umbrella on a stage, wearing an orange-brown turban and rust-coloured robe with a heavy gold necklace and pink-and-white flower garlands. He holds a hand on the armrest while speaking into a microphone stand. Behind him a large backdrop shows Arunachala hill and temple towers, and at right a golden deity murti in blue and orange is adorned with flower garlands. A silver trident stands at left and brass lamps flank the throne. Swamiji (probable): long hair is absent, but a turban, saffron-orange clothing, gold necklace and rudraksha-style adornment mark a discourse setting.
