A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with a canopy, delivering a discourse at a public event. The figure wears an orange saffron robe and orange turban, with a long gold-beaded necklace, and gestures with one raised hand while the other rests on the throne. A microphone stand is positioned beside the throne and a music or reading stand sits to the left. Large flower arrangements of orange, red, yellow and white blooms stand in white urns on either side, in front of a draped gold and white backdrop with a gold-leaf pattern overhead. Small water bottles and a cloth-covered side table in gold fabric are visible. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, orange turban and long gold necklace on the throne match the page's reference to the discourse.
