A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers. He wears a white garment with gold borders, a heavy gold necklace and a red bindi, and presses his palms together in namaste while a microphone stands before him. The gilded backrest and floral arch frame him. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold ceremonial necklace and white-and-gold clothing support the candidate reading, and the seated figure is a discourse speaker in the scene.
