A man sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral and scrollwork panels behind him. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl draped over his shoulder, a heavy gold-beaded necklace, and a red bindi on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He holds his hands together in his lap and speaks into a microphone on a boom stand. Cushions in tan and orange surround him. The scene is a discourse setting with a single seated speaker and no other people visible. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in the role of discourse speaker, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe, gold beaded mala and throne.
