A smiling man with short dark hair and a small red bindi sits on a white upholstered armchair with round bolster cushions and a red throw, on a stage in front of a deep red velvet curtain with a microphone stand. He wears a sleeveless orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and torso and draped over his legs, and his feet are bare. The appearance and seated throne setting give a person identity from appearance cues; the setting and garments align with a sannyasi speaker's stage presence. The photo is a watermarked archive image showing one speaker seated during a talk.
