A seated man speaks into a microphone while giving a discourse on a large gilded throne with a red velvet cushioned back. He wears a sky-blue draped cloth over his bare upper body, multiple strands of white and clear beaded malas, and a red bindi on his forehead. His legs are crossed in lotus-style sitting. Brass oil lamps with flames stand on each side of the throne. Behind him is a decorated backdrop with red and white draped fabric. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), given by the long swept-back hair, blue ochre-style draped clothing, multiple malas and the throne seating.
