A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion and matching round bolsters, speaking into a gooseneck microphone on a stand. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap over orange trousers, a long rudraksha mala of dark beads hangs to his waist, and a red vertical mark is on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept back. He raises one open hand in teaching gesture while the other rests on his knee. The gilded throne back has repousse floral and scroll carving, and blue-purple drapery fills the background. A cymbal on a stand sits at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and throne seating; he is seated teaching in a discourse setting.
