A smiling man with swept-back black hair sits on an ornate gold throne with plush maroon velvet cushions, seated in a relaxed cross-legged pose. He wears a saffron-orange draped robe with gold trim, a long gold bead necklace and a saffron-orange shawl, holds a crystal mala in one hand, and has a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead. Behind him a blue wall shows a colourful painted deity figure with multiple arms holding ritual objects. A figure in ceremonial saffron-orange clothing with distinctive long hair and gold adornments matches the probable Swamiji description and is seated as the discourse speaker.
