A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet backrest, speaking into a microphone on a boom stand. He wears a red turban with a small red bindi on the forehead, a red shawl draped over the shoulders, red dhoti-style lower garments, a white bead necklace and a gold pendant, and a gold armlet. He gestures with raised hands during a discourse. Gold lion-carved armrests flank the seat, with brass oil lamps at the edges and a bouquet of purple flowers on the right side. The background shows a painted forest scene with banyan-like trees. Swamiji (probable) is seated as the speaker; the appearance cues are the red turban, red shawl and ceremonial white and gold necklaces.
