A smiling man with swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears an orange-saffron cloth, a brown rudraksha mala across the shoulders, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, a gold armlet and beaded bracelets. Gilded carved panels and red cushions fill the background, with a flowered garland at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) is seated here, identified by swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, in a discourse setting.
