A man seated on an ornate cream upholstered throne with carved black wooden arms and back, wearing a multicolored red, orange and purple turban and a saffron-orange wrap draped over one shoulder. He wears a long ceremonial gold bead necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and reads from an open booklet held in both hands. A microphone on a stand is visible at right and a dark blue curtain stands behind him. The turban, swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) presentation for this seated speaker, shown in person.
