A man with long dark hair and a small red bindi sits cross-legged on a large gold upholstered throne with carved dark wooden trim and tasselled gold cushions. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl draped over a leopard-print cloth, with a long ceremonial gold bead necklace. Hands rest together in his lap and his feet are bare. A microphone on a stand stands beside the throne, a white table holds a water bottle and a brass vessel on the left, and a large painted backdrop of cloud-like swirls in pink, blue and cream fills the background. Watermarked stage photo; the throne and microphone indicate a public talk. Swamiji (probable): the orange robes, leopard shawl, long hair and gold beaded necklace match the page's Swamiji reference.
