A seated man in a red silk drape with gold-bordered edges sits cross-legged on a red cushion before an ornate gold throne with a repoussé backrest. He wears a pale gold turban, a red tilak on his forehead, and a long gold bead necklace with black bands. His eyes are lowered and he is smiling slightly, with a microphone on a stand near his shoulder. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair visible under the turban, saffron-red ceremonial dress, gold ceremonial necklace and a throne, consistent with a discourse setting.
