A seated man in a carved brown leather throne smiles toward an audience in a hall. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold-toned pendant on a beaded necklace, and a red bindi and tilak on his forehead. He holds a small cup and saucer on a side table. Around him, rows of seated listeners fill the foreground and background, including an older man in white in the left foreground and several people in red and white garments on the right. A colourful painted backdrop with a circular motif hangs behind the throne. The description of the throned figure is Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold pendant, seated as the host of a discourse.
