A seated man in a white and gold turban and white garment with gold shawl and a long gold-beaded necklace smiles and raises his right hand while holding an open book on a wooden stand, giving a discourse. He has long swept-back hair and a red dot on his forehead. Behind him a banner reads Bhagavad Gita (The Song of God) beside a painted chariot scene with white horses and charioteers. Green plants and red flowers decorate the stage, and gold-and-red cushions sit at his sides. Probable Swamiji's cues: long hair, turban, gold necklace and saffron-gold adornment, seated as a teacher.
