A man sits cross-legged on a golden throne with lion-head armrests in front of an ornate gilded backrest, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears an orange saffron robe draped over one shoulder, a long gold-beaded mala around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and his hands are raised in an animated gesture. A dark blue curtain hangs behind the throne, and a pedestal fan is visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and throne seating are consistent with the page's identification, and he is seated in front of a gilded throne while teaching.
