A man with long dark hair and a small red bindi sits before an ornate gold-leaf throne, speaking into a clip-on microphone on a stand at right. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare shoulders and a thick necklace of large gold-coloured beads. Both hands are raised beside his head, palms facing inward, in an expressive gesture while he addresses the audience. The backdrop is a sheen of gold relief carving with a grey curtain at right edge. Probable Swamiji delivering a discourse: long swept-back hair, saffron cloth, gold bead necklace and a bindi are the qualifying cues.
