A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a carved wooden chair on a stage during a talk. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl over a leopard-print cloth, with long rudraksha mala necklaces, a green bead strand, a gold pendant, and multiple beaded bangles. His hair is styled high and full, and a yellow-and-red forehead mark is visible; his eyes are closed as he speaks into a microphone on a stand, one hand raised. Beside him stand a tall silver ceremonial staff, a water bottle, and a red flask on a small wooden table, and a brass pot with dripping decoration sits at the base. Behind him hangs a painted cloth with peacock and dancing-figure motifs.
