A man sits on an ornate gilded throne with a large carved golden backrest and red velvet cushions, smiling and gesturing with one raised hand during a talk. He wears a rust-red and saffron-bordered robe, a red bindi and tripundra marks on his forehead, and a long necklace of gold-tone beads with a clip-on microphone at the collar. A water bottle rests on the armrest. The plain cream wall and wooden panelling suggest an indoor discourse hall. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-toned robe and gold bead necklace are cues for a presiding teacher seated on the throne, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
