A photograph of a man seated at a microphone on a stage before a golden metal deity murti, which shows a multi-armed goddess seated on a lion-like mount with an additional figure beside her. The seated man wears a rust-brown turban adorned with gold ornaments, a rust-brown sash, and layered gold necklaces with rudraksha mala strands, plus a rudraksha bracelet. He has a dark beard and vibhuti with a kumkum mark on his forehead. Behind him are a red drape, a green-lit brass bell, a brass oil lamp, and green plant leaves in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the seated speaker, identified from several distinctive visible cues: the ornate turban, gold necklaces and rudraksha malas.
