A seated man sits cross-legged in lotus-style posture on a gold-upholstered throne-like seat in front of an ornate gilded backrest carved with floral and scrollwork patterns. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with gold borders and a matching orange lower garment, long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on the forehead and a heavy ceremonial necklace of large gold beads. His hands rest open in mudra positions while he speaks, and a gooseneck microphone is positioned beside him. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central figure, shown seated and teaching in a discourse setting, with the distinctive long hair, saffron robes and gold necklace serving as cues.
