A man seated on an ornate black-and-gold carved throne with a cream upholstered back, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a pale silver-grey turban, a red bindi on his forehead, a beige saffron-bordered shawl draped over one shoulder, and a heavy gold bead necklace. He holds an open book in both hands and smiles while looking off to the side. A brass cymbal is visible in the foreground, and a dark curtain and a green banner with round plaques form the background. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), based on long swept-back hair, a turban and ornate gold necklace, seated as a teacher in a discourse setting.
