A seated man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold-bordered yellow edge sits on a red velvet and ornate gold throne with a large carved gold back. He has long dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and wears a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant and a teal-and-gold ornamental necklace, plus gold bangles. He raises both palms outward in a gesture of blessing while speaking to an unseen audience. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces with white and gold ceremonial dress on a throne, consistent with a discourse setting. The foreground shows a small part of another person's head at the lower left edge.
