A man in rust-red saffron robes and a matching red turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy and leopard-print cushions on a red-carpeted stage. He wears layered rudraksha and gold necklaces, a white flower garland, and has his arms outstretched in a speaking gesture. Behind him a large dark metal deity murti with multiple arms stands at left, and gold trishula staffs flank the throne. A screen behind shows a red-pillared temple hall, and stage lights hang overhead. A bearded man with long hair and a crown-like turban wearing saffron, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces on a throne has distinctive visible cues, consistent with Swamiji (probable) presiding as speaker.
