A smiling man with long dark hair and a red-ochre sleeveless wrap with gold-bordered edges stands beside a clear acrylic lectern on a stage. He wears a multi-strand orange-red beaded necklace and a gold-and-brown garment, with a gold bracelet on his wrist. Behind him a large golden ornate throne with a maroon velvet cushion sits in front of a warm temple-carved backdrop depicting relief sculptures. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ochre-saffron clothing and ceremonial beads, standing at a satsang lectern in front of a golden throne.
