A man with long swept-back dark hair, a beard and a red tilak on his forehead stands at the front of a hall, holding a microphone in his right hand and extending his left arm outward while smiling. He wears a loose saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder. Beside him is an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and backrest. Behind him, red drapes frame a large white projection screen, and colourful tassels hang from the ceiling. The audience sits on the floor in rows, many in black and white clothing, watching him speak. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and forehead tilak are the appearance cues; he is speaking to a seated audience at a satsang-style session.
