A man seated cross-legged on a golden Nandi bull sculpture before a red curtain backdrop, dressed in a rust-orange turban, orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a white flower garland and a heavy gold necklace. A trident-topped staff rises beside him, and a microphone stand stands at right. Behind him a gold arch frames a statue of a deity couple, with green foliage and green lighting above. Brass lamps, potted plants and a small wooden table with a cup sit around the stage. Swamiji (probable): his orange-red turban, ornate gold necklace and saffron-toned attire match the presentation of the event's speaker, seated as the discourse host, so this is a candidate rather than a confirmed identification.
