A man seated on an ornate golden throne draped with a tiger-stripe cloth, in a hall filled with seated devotees. He wears an orange-brown turban with a jeweled ornament, orange-brown shawl, rudraksha malas and a large gold pendant, and holds a trident-tipped scepter in one raised hand while the other rests on the armrest. A tall golden staff stands to his left. Behind him are maroon curtains and carved wooden doors. Audience members in saffron, red and white clothing sit in rows, many watching attentively. The throne and presentation are consistent with a Swamiji (probable) seated for a discourse; the figure has long dark hair under the turban, saffron-orange clothing and ceremonial gold adornments.
