A seated man smiles broadly on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and a cobra-hood canopy above, speaking into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a maroon-red turban with a white tilak mark, a maroon-red robe, a gold chest ornament, a long gold necklace, a multicoloured garland of white, blue and pink flowers, and gold bangles. His raised index finger points upward as he speaks. A small wooden side table holds a white mug. Behind him are carved golden pillars and painted backdrops of Shiva-related imagery. At lower right stands a gold statue of a bull, Nandi. The striped floor cloth is blue, red and green. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated as the speaker at a satsang setting, with a turban, maroon robe, gold ornaments and flower garland.
