A man seated on an ornately carved white throne with a red cushion, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulder and a gold necklace, with a white forehead mark and a dark bindi-like dot. His long dark hair is swept back, and he raises one hand while looking downward toward seated listeners in the foreground. Behind him, orange and yellow decorative lamps and banners fill a bright hall, with a camera on a tripod and a young man in glasses and a bare-chested figure with a rudraksha mala seated at the right edge. The candidate presentation shows several cues including swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold ornament, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated in discourse.
