A smiling man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, palms pressed together in a greeting gesture. He wears a bright green shawl-style garment with a patterned border and a heavy gold bead mala draped across his chest, with a red tilak on his forehead and dark hair swept back. Green palm fronds stand behind him beside the gilded throne armrest, with a golden lion-figure carving in the lower foreground. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ornate gold mala, saffron-green ceremonial clothing and throne seating suggest the discourse speaker.
