A bearded man with long curly hair sits on a gilded chair beside a golden trident-topped staff, eyes closed, palms pressed together in a gesture of reverence. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and bare upper body, with a thick brown rudraksha mala hanging across his chest and a fine gold chain at his neck, a red-maroon tilak on his forehead, and a small clip-on microphone on his cheek. The blurred pink-lilac hall and background audience suggest a satsang or discourse. Appearance-based identification is a person, seated on a throne as a teacher, with long swept hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues.
