A seated figure in a hall of attendees speaks into a microphone on a stand, one hand raised in a gesture. He wears a long swept-back dark hairstyle, orange-saffron robes with a bright orange shawl, and a dense brown rudraksha mala with matching bracelets; a small red mark is on his forehead. He sits on an ornate carved wooden throne beside a tall silver trident. Around him, rows of seated and standing participants in white, orange and red lanyards and clothes watch, with a few monks in saffron on the right. The room has tan walls, stacked chairs and a red banner at upper right. The person's appearance is distinctive enough to suggest a person, so the identity is probable from cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial trident.
