A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, speaking into a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style cloth draped over his shoulders, a gold necklace and a long gold-and-beaded garland, with a red-orange tilak on his forehead. He has long hair swept back and a beard, and his hands are folded in his lap while he smiles. Behind him is a large gold carved backrest and red drapes. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and mala cues match the page's claim, so this is a seated teacher giving a discourse on a throne.
