A seated speaker delivers a discourse on a golden throne carved with scrolling foliage and scales, flanked by two gold lion-head armrests. He wears a rust-red turban with a small vertical tilak mark on his forehead, a red-orange shawl over his shoulders, a long gold bead necklace and a large gold pendant, and gold bangles on his upper arms and wrists. A microphone on a stand is angled toward his mouth, and his hands are open in an explanatory gesture. Leopard-print cushions sit beneath the throne and a deep red curtain stands behind. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears a red turban, rudraksha-style gold beads and ornate red-orange clothing while seated on a throne giving discourse; the appearance is consistent but not certain.
