A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair sitting cross-legged on an ornately carved wooden throne with a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-brown saffron-toned robe, layered gold and beaded necklaces, a white pink-and-white flower garland, a gold armband and a white tripundra mark on his forehead. He smiles while seated before a microphone stand. Behind him are potted green plants, a red draped cloth, a golden deity murti seated on the left, and hanging decorative cloths with colourful patterns on the wooden paneled wall. Brass oil lamps stand nearby. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse hall.
