A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with carved scrollwork and beaded edging. He wears a flowing orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders and holds a clipboard or notepad in front of him, with a microphone on a stand near his face. Behind him is a large backdrop printed with a standing deity figure in red and white draped garments, decorated with yellow and white flower garlands. To the left, a carved wooden pillar and a small painted portrait of an elderly figure in white are visible. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold throne mark him as the speaker giving a discourse at the front of the hall.
