A man with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a tall gilded back, lion-shaped armrests and a canopy umbrella overhead. He wears a saffron-orange garment wrapped over his shoulders and a long gold-beaded necklace, with both palms raised in a speaking gesture, and a microphone stand is positioned in front of him. A dark blue curtain hangs behind the throne, and a small floral offering rests on the gold pedestal. The man is the probable Swamiji on the throne, identified by the saffron wrap, ornate gold mala necklace and long swept-back hair in an otherwise bare-chested pose beside the throne. A gold plaque on the throne base is inscribed in Devanagari script.
