A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne with his eyes closed, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. He wears a dark maroon-brown shawl draped over his bare shoulders, gold jewellery at the neck and wrists, and a thick garland of pink roses, white jasmine and yellow marigolds with a purple flower. A white vibhuti mark and red kumkum sit on his forehead. A microphone stands before him, a keyboard and a silver lion-shaped stand are visible at the left, and a carved stone deity murti stands in a niche behind. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron-brown clothing and ceremonial throne, presented as a discourse seated before devotees' view of the stage.
