A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered shawl sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned throne, gesturing with his right index finger raised as he speaks. He wears a rudraksha mala with gold beads, a white vertical tilak and a red dot on his forehead, gold earrings and a small clip-on microphone at his chest. Beside him a golden lion-shaped armrest and an ornate gold backrest frame the scene. Behind him a painted portrait of a robed figure hangs on a pale wall. The swami appears to be teaching a satsang discourse in an ashram hall. The man is a person, identified by saffron robes, a rudraksha mala with gold beads, and a throne seat, with the appearance-based label applied to the person physically present.
