A man in orange and saffron robes sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a cobra-hood backrest and lion-form armrests, a black turban on his head and a white and pink flower garland around his neck. He speaks into a microphone on a stand, his right hand raised in a teaching gesture. Behind the throne is a painted jungle backdrop with waterfalls, ferns and a large coiled serpent figure, with painted devotees in white dhotis praying on either side. A tall brass oil lamp stands at the right edge of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears orange and saffron robes, a black turban, a rudraksha-style prayer necklace and garland, consistent with the page's description of the event.
