A seated man in maroon-red robes and a matching turban sits cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap. He wears a gold chain necklace, a gold-and-red beaded bracelet on each upper arm, and a sparkling jewel ornament on the turban. He is seated on an ornate golden throne with carved scrollwork and red cushions, in front of a microphone on a stand, with a purple backdrop behind him. A small copper pot and a lit oil lamp sit at the lower edge of the frame. The turban ornament and throne suggest a discourse setting. Swamiji (probable): long hair, ornate turban, red-saffron robes and gold necklace are visible cues for the seated speaker.
