A man sits cross-legged on a cream upholstered throne-like sofa with a carved black wooden backrest, speaking into a clip-on lapel mic and a boom microphone. He wears a multicoloured pink, yellow and green turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a coral-red embroidered kurta with white thread work, and a white shawl draped over one shoulder. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders and his hands rest together in his lap. Behind him are a checkered backdrop, a green glittery ornamental display and orange-and-red drapes. Swamiji (probable) appears as the speaker, identified by his turban, long hair, ornate clothing and seated discourse role; the page describes a talk on the Himalayas.
