A man seated on an ornate cream throne with carved black wooden armrests and backrest sits cross-legged at a public talk. He wears a multicoloured red, orange, yellow and purple turban and an orange-saffron shawl draped over his bare shoulder, with a long strand of gold beads worn around his neck. He has a red tilak mark on his forehead, hands resting in his lap, and looks to his right. A microphone on a stand is at the right, a small brass-toned lamp and red roses sit at the left, and a stand with papers is beside the throne. Behind him hangs a green banner with large gold lettering reading 'Sutras' against a dark blue curtain. Swamiji (probable): the orange shawl, rudraksha-style gold necklace and ceremonial turban fit the presentation; the seated figure is on the throne at a discourse.
