A seated man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban with a red vertical mark on his forehead delivers a discourse. He wears a long gold bead necklace and holds an open book on a wooden stand, his left arm extended toward a drum-like instrument. Behind him a banner reads Bhagavad Gita (The Song of God) beside a painted chariot scene with white horses. A tall brass oil lamp stands at right on a patterned cloth backdrop. Probable Swamiji is the seated speaker, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a turban and gold necklace.
