A seated man on a golden throne draped with garlands of yellow marigolds, white jasmine and purple flowers, with a red cloth behind him, speaks into a microphone. He wears saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala, and his long dark hair is swept back. To the left stands a golden vahana-style carriage decorated with garlands, carrying a standing deity murti in red and gold clothing with a red turban and gold necklaces. Brass oil lamps burn on a white pedestal in front of the throne, and a blue curtain forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, and is seated in a position of honour during the discourse.
