A man sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne before a microphone stand and a vase of orange flowers, against a dark blue curtain. He wears a white and gold turban with a peacock feather and a gold jewelled band, a red tilak on his forehead, a pale turquoise embroidered kurta, and a long gold chain necklace. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and his hands rest folded in his lap. The gilded throne behind him has a radiating golden backrest. A large Swamiji (probable) figure is seated here: long swept-back hair, a jewelled turban and gold ceremonial necklace, consistent with the page's reference to the speaker.
