A man seated cross-legged on a carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone with both palms raised near his chest. He wears a rust-orange robe, a white-and-pink flower garland, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, orange beaded bracelets, and white and red forehead markings. Behind him stand golden statues of a multi-armed deity seated with a consort on a golden pedestal, flanked by brass bells and tall brass lamps, with green leafy plants and a red draped backdrop. In the foreground a golden kalasha-style vessel rests on a striped rug. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, and orange robes mark him as the speaker seated on the peetha.
