A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on a large white upholstered throne-style chair in front of a deep red velvet curtain. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with a matching wrap, a long gold bead necklace, and bare feet, and he reads from a sheaf of white papers held in both hands. A microphone on a stand is angled toward him, and a red cushion rests on the footrest. Probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace) is seated as a speaker. No other people are visible. The photo is an event image from the Inner Awakening program in December 2009.
