A seated man with long dark hair speaks into a microphone while raising his right hand, seated on an ornate golden throne (peetha) framed by a large arch of marigold garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. He wears white robes with a gold-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. Silver oil lamps and brass vessels with fruit stand beside the throne, and the backdrop is covered in yellow flowers. The page identifies this as a discourse, and the man's distinctive long hair, gold necklace and throne setting are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance, shown in person.
