A smiling man with long dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate golden throne with carved floral and figurative relief. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and a white garland with blue and yellow beads. White sacred ash marks his forehead with a red bindi at the centre. He holds a cordless microphone in his right hand and gestures with his left hand, which holds turmeric or sacred powder. A purple backdrop and yellow flowers appear behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate golden throne, saffron robe and ceremonial garland, seated as the speaker of the session.
