A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned shawl and dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with carved scrolling backrest in front of red curtains. He wears a leopard-print cloth headwrap, a thick gold necklace with a large gold pendant, and red tilak markings, raising one hand in a gesture while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Garlands of white flowers drape the right edge beside a silver-toned seat, and a blue metal pot and small brass lamp sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair under a patterned headwrap, saffron-orange clothing, a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and is seated on a throne during a discourse.
