A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved, scalloped backrest studded with small gold beads and red cushioning. He has a red bindi and white tilak marks on his forehead and hands clasped in his lap. Dark blue curtains form the backdrop, and the blurred heads of audience members appear in the lower foreground. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne during a satsang-style gathering; the swept-back hair, saffron shawl and tilak are the cues used here.
