A seated man in a rust-red robe addresses a microphone from an ornate gilded throne with carved scrollwork and two golden lion heads flanking it. He wears a white forehead mark with a red dot, a thick gold necklace with a lotus pendant, several gold chains, gold bangles, and a pink-and-white flower garland. His raised right hand gestures mid-discourse. A gold lamp stand with a white cup sits at left, and a red-and-gold deity murti is visible above. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-red attire fit the candidate, shown here presenting a discourse from the throne.
