A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet back and carved lion-shaped armrest, wearing a multicoloured striped turban with a red-and-pink pattern, an orange-saffron robe with green-and-gold border trim, and a long string of gold beads worn as a necklace. He holds a small Indian tricolour flag on a stick in his right hand. A black laptop sits in the lower left foreground beside a potted palm, and a backdrop of a sepia-toned banyan-like tree stands behind him. A small red tilak mark is on his forehead. The figure appears to be a person in saffron ceremonial dress with a turban and distinctive gold necklaces, seated in a presentation setting. Swamiji (probable): seated on the throne in saffron robes, turban and gold necklaces, presenting the event.
