A seated man on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests on a stage decorated with yellow marigold garlands, white jasmine strands and red-and-purple flower borders. He wears a white dhoti and a white shawl with gold border, a long beaded necklace and a sandal-coloured wrap, and raises a small orange card in his right hand. A silver trident stands beside the throne, a silver lamp stand flanks each side and a golden kalasha-style canopy with floral garlands sits above. Garland-decorated red-and-white striped drapery lines the front of the platform. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair and a crown-like ceremonial setting on a peetha throne, with ornate gold and white ceremonial dress; he is presented as a seated teacher addressing an audience.
