A seated figure with long dark swept-back hair, a crescent ornament in the hair, a red bindi and an orange sleeveless garment with a leopard-print wrap sits on a large brown leather throne with carved wooden arms. Multiple strands of beaded rudraksha-style malas and a gold ceremonial necklace hang at the chest. The figure raises one finger to the lips in a hushing gesture. Blurred seated audience members in orange and white, some wearing orange lanyards, fill the foreground and background of a warm-toned hall. Swamiji (probable): the qualifying cues are the swept-back hair, saffron clothing and malas, shown on a throne in an assembly.
