A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders and orange robes, and holds a sheet of printed paper in his left hand while raising his right hand in a gesture of speech. Behind him is a large gold repoussé throne back with floral and rayed patterns against dark blue drapes. This is a discourse setting. The man is Swamiji (probable), identified by his long hair, saffron robes and ceremonial throne.
