A bearded man with long dark hair sits in front of an ornate silver repoussé backdrop with floral and scroll motifs. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a thin gold chain, and a red thread on his right wrist, and a white vertical tilak is on his forehead. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. A microphone on a stand is at the right edge of the frame. Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron wrap and ornamented setting, presiding as speaker.
