A man seated on an ornate golden throne with a large gilded backrest carved in floral and scrollwork patterns. He wears a white and gold turban with a jewelled ornament at the centre and a peacock feather tucked in it, with long dark hair falling behind. His pale aqua embroidered silk kurta has gold zari detailing and an orange inner placket, with a heavy gold chain and a red tilak on his forehead. A microphone stands beside him, and his hands rest in his lap. The setting suggests a seated discourse. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, turban with jewelled crown ornament, ornate gold chain and embroidered kurta, seated on a golden throne.
