A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a tiger-striped yellow-and-black shawl sits cross-legged on a red platform before an ornate gold throne. He wears long rows of white beaded malas, has a red bindi on his forehead and dark hair tied back, and smiles while gesturing with his hands during a discourse. Beside him stand a large peacock-feather fan, a silver trident and a red-cushioned stand, with a painted deity figure holding a club behind him and marigold garlands framing the stage. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne and saffron robes with rudraksha-style malas fit the presentation of the teacher on stage.
