A seated man in a lavender-purple sleeveless wrap and matching draped lower garment sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion and armrests. He wears a long necklace of large gold-coloured beads, has a red bindi on his forehead, and raises his right hand in a gesture while speaking into a clip-on microphone on a gooseneck stand. Behind him is a large gilded floral backrest and a green banner with gold lettering. Swamiji (probable) appearance-based label: the long swept-back hair, gold bead necklace and ceremonial throne are the qualifying cues for the teacher role of a seated discourse speaker.
