A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions speaks into a microphone during a discourse. He wears a rust-orange wrap and dhoti, a long gold and beaded necklace with a large pendant, a gold armlet and a rudraksha-style red bracelet, and his hand is raised in explanation. Behind him is a golden carved backdrop; flanking the stage are white and yellow marigold garlands and a brass lamp with a trishul-shaped stand. A red cushion lies at his feet on the dais. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in a teaching role, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron clothing as the qualifying cues.
