A person seated on an ornate brown leather throne with carved wooden arms speaks while holding a small wooden stick near the chest. The seated figure wears an orange-red shawl over the shoulders, a leopard-print blouse, a long rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured flower-and-bead garland with a gold pendant, plus gold earrings and a red bindi. Behind and around them, a large audience sits in a hall, many in white, orange and saffron clothing, some wearing orange lanyards. A microphone stand is at the right edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in the teaching position, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold garland as the qualifying cues.
