A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard sits in front of an ornate golden peetha with a fan-shaped backrest. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over an orange robe, a long rudraksha mala hangs at his chest, and a thin gold chain is visible at his neck. A red thread is tied on his wrist, a vibhuti mark and a dark bindi sit on his forehead, and he raises one hand in a speaking gesture toward a microphone on a boom stand. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's saffron clothing, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace match the presentation of the teacher, shown here in a discourse setting.
