A smiling man with a full black beard sits cross-legged on a carved wooden throne-like seat covered with a leopard-print cloth, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-orange turban with a crescent ornament and a red jewel brooch, a rust-orange shawl over a sleeveless rust-orange garment, and a thick brown rudraksha-style mala. A white and gold flower garland with a long tassel hangs across his body, and he has a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him are maroon curtains, two hanging oil lamps, and a painted carved backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the crescent turban ornament, rust-orange robes, brown rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland are consistent with the page's description of a discourse by Swamiji.
