A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and a carved sun face at its top, smiling. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over both shoulders and an orange dhoti, with a small headset microphone near his ear. He holds a dark wooden staff or rod in his right hand and rests his left hand on a silver vessel on the armrest. Blurred audience members fill the foreground and background of a large hall with red pillars. Appearance-based identification: Swamiji (probable), seated on a throne as a speaker before an audience, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and orange clothing, and a ceremonial staff.
