A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with a large arch of yellow, red, purple and white flower garlands. He wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and a heavy gold necklace, and raises both hands in an expressive gesture while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Gold carved armrests and a yellow marigold backdrop with purple and white floral trim surround him. A bowl of fruit sits at the left edge. The man is a probable Swamiji by the page's context and his long hair, gold necklace and gold-bordered shawl, though identity is not certain from appearance alone.
