A smiling man with long dark hair and a beard sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of an ornate gold throne carved with elaborate floral and figural motifs. He wears an orange-red saffron robe draped over one shoulder, a gold jewelled waist belt, and red beaded bracelets on both wrists. A white tilak marks his forehead with a red bindi above it. He raises both palms in a gesture of blessing toward the audience, with a microphone on a stand beside him. Gold lion-shaped armrest sculptures flank the throne. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, gold waist ornament and rudraksha-style wristbands match the presentation of the figure described on the page as Swamiji, who is present at this discourse.
