A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a red-carpeted stage. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder, leaving his upper body partly bare, and holds a gold-tipped ceremonial staff in his left hand. Tall gold-and-red fan-shaped poles flank the throne. Behind him hang red drapes and a yellow panel, and a small carved wooden table with a microphone stands at right. An audience of seated people, many in white and orange clothing, fills the foreground and the sides of the hall. The man has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial staff, and is seated on a throne in a hall full of devotees, so this is a probable Swamiji depiction in person.
