A man seated on an ornate white-and-red throne chair in front of red draped curtains, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban, orange-brown draped cloth, a white and pink flower garland, and layered gold beaded necklaces with a gold pendant. Gold hoop earrings and a red sacred thread on his wrist are visible. A small silver jug and a white cup sit on a side table at left, beside a carved white staff with a serpent-like top. Appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable), seated in the speaker's position; the cues are the turban, saffron-orange clothing, gold necklaces and garland, with a red-curtained stage setting.
