A smiling man in a rust-orange turban and matching rust-orange robes stands on a stage, wearing a long garland of white flowers, a beaded rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial pendants. He holds a small book in one hand and gestures with the other. Beside him a whiteboard shows a chart titled States of Consciousness with four quadrants, and a gold-and-red throne with a tall gold trident stands at right beside a dark bronze bull figure. The stage floor is a checkered black-and-white pattern. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, saffron-orange clothing, mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, and the page is a 2016 event session on states of consciousness.
