A man seated cross-legged on a large white armchair with his palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a white turban with a gold border, a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a long gold necklace and a gold pendant, and a red bindi on his forehead. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Two steel tumblers sit on a surface to his left, and a green plant is at the edge of the frame. Behind him is a backdrop with a painted banyan tree and large Tamil lettering. The seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues (long hair, turban, gold ornaments, ceremonial white and gold clothing), so this is a probable Swamiji delivering a satsang at a spiritual conference.
